Hi!

A project can refer to libraries that contain compiled code. The source code for the library files can be reconstructed from the compiled binaries. How can I open an Xtext editor on such reconstructed source (i.e. the document is a String)?

For example, if I had Java support as an Xtext plugin, opening a .class file that has source attached should show an Xtext editor with the source.

best regards,
Vlad

Just a hint: did you have a look on what Xtext does for the Compare View: org.eclipse.xtext.ui.compare.DefaultContentViewer
