How to tie a model to a TextEditor [message #147375]

I'm looking for examples or hints how to tie an object model to a text
editor.

I can easily convert the objects to their text representation and back, but
for editing I assume some kind of incremental approach is required.

Also, in order to be able to determine proposals for the content assist
function, I need access to the objects underlying the text at any given
position. This seems rather difficult, but I assume there are solutions to
this problem...

I guess I could have a look at the Java editor provided by Eclipse, but
would be glad if there was anything simpler to start with!

Eric,
Take a look of the "Documents and partitions" in the Eclipse online help.
Xmen is one example that tie XML data with the editor document.

Thanks, this plug-in looks like an excellent example. It goes beyond the
example provided in the documentation, without being to complex.
