and all help is deeply appreciated.
-Thanks!

Done was not sure what component is the right maybe you have to modify:

As already said I would but I don't know the internals of the VE and
XSWT. As a first step I checked out the sources of XSWT. Is there any
spec, DTD which tells me what XML-Elements exists? Can I use my own in
XSWT e.g. my own NumberWidget which derives from Text?

it is easy:
public class SampleAction implements IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate {
private IWorkbenchWindow window;
private ISelection fSelection = null;
/**
* The constructor.
*/
public SampleAction() {
}
public void selectionChanged(IAction action, ISelection selection) {
fSelection = selection;
}
/**
* The action has been activated. The argument of the method represents
the
* 'real' action sitting in the workbench UI.
*
* @see IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate#run
*/
public void run(IAction action) {
// *****
if (fSelection instanceof IStructuredSelection
&& ((IStructuredSelection) fSelection).size() == 1) {
Object object = ((IStructuredSelection) fSelection)
.getFirstElement();
if(object instanceof EditPart) {
EditPart editPart=(EditPart)object;
IJavaObjectInstance component = (IJavaObjectInstance)
editPart.getModel();
JavaClass modelType = (JavaClass) component.eClass();
//*****
EditDomain ed = EditDomain.getEditDomain(editPart);
DiagramData dd=ed.getDiagramData();
//*****
ResourceSet resSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
URI fileURI = URI.createFileURI("c:/temp/aaa.xml");
Resource resource =
resSet.createResource(fileURI);
//*****
resource.getContents().add(dd);
//
try {
resource.save(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
}
catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

This will screw up the editor because you just moved the diagram data
from the resource inside the VE to your resource.

Will it work ? we really need it...
EditPart editPart = (EditPart) object;
IJavaObjectInstance component = (IJavaObjectInstance) editPart
.getModel();
JavaClass modelType = (JavaClass) component.eClass();
// *****
EditDomain ed = EditDomain.getEditDomain(editPart);
DiagramData dd = ed.getDiagramData();
Resource res = dd.eResource();
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
res.save(os, Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
String xx = os.toString();
System.out.println("xx=" + xx);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(
"c:/temp/aaa.xml"));
out.write(xx);
out.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
Many Thanks.
