We implemented a custom version of wst.xml editor
(http://springide.org/project/wiki/BeansXmlEditor) by just using the
standard set of extension points
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes",
"org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.modelHandler" and
"org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.modelHandler".
Now we are wondering how to provide a custom icon for our XML editor.
While creating an editor from scratch we would provided it via the
extension point "org.eclipse.ui.editors". But how can this be achieved
with wst.xml?

As far as I know, this is the only way, though we hadn't really intended=
for
XMLMultiPageEditorPart to be a public usable class. Just off the top of =
my head,
it seems like a reasonable feature request, though, in this type of rest=
ricted use.
(just never use the same editor id,
which I only mention because its happended before repeatedly ... by peop=
le who should have
known better :)
And, to be clear in the hopes of avoiding future problems, some of the
other "standard API's" Torstan originally mentioned,
such as org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.modelHandler are not really standard ye=
t.
They are (nearly) provisional and something similar will always be provi=
ded,
but ... likely to change some as it becomes API ... so, be sure to plan =
for that.
