Hi Rathna,

You may want to have a look at the Windows Builder project donated by google to eclipse foundation.
That has a pretty neat UI designer.Looking at their code you can derive some ideas.

For text editor you can use WTP's structured editor which shows any structuted document like html nicely.
It comes alongwith stuffs like code completion , outline etc.

cheers,
Saurav
