HI,
I have kind of requirement where in we have to embed default XML schema
editor provided by WST in our cutom editor. To go further, our custom
editor is having couple of tabs and in one of the tab i have to show
schema editor. My question is, how we can extend the default XML schema
editor so that it can be displayed inside the tab?

looking forward for some clarification.

Thanks
Kunal

This may be tough. If you want just the graphical editor you could create
your own single page editor that reused the graph view of the schema
editor. Then your editor would be a multipage editor that utilized the
single page graph view editor as a tab.

Sounds like a week's worth of work and you'd be forced to code to internal
classes that are certain to change in WTP 1.5.

I'd be interested to hear the issues you run into as you work thru this
exercise. I'm sure there's code we could restructure in the future that
would make this really easy. Unfortunately we never had this re-use case
in mind when we originally wrote our editor ... so it'll be quite a
challenge.

best of luck

So you mean the whole schema editor, include the graphical design page? Or just source page?
The latter is easier and not sure we'll support the other, at least any time soon. If the later,
you can just follow the examples in XMLSchema or XML 2 page editor ... at come point, they have a
createSoucePage() method .. you'd have to do something similar.
