dynamically tweaking standard java editor [message #192095]

Hi,

I need to do some tweaking for standard Eclipse Java editor. Please advise
if the following is possible in current Eclipse 3.1 API.

1. How can I add some custom area in place of line number area that will show
some line-specific information for current Java class (e.g. code metrics)?

2. How can I add additional tab (similar to PDE's plugin.xml editor) to a
current Java editor?

Thank you in advance.

Eugene

You cannot tweak the existing Java editor in any way desired above,
however you can write your own editor. For case 2 you'd have to write a
multi-page editor and for case one it would probably be best to add
another vertical ruler instead of replacing the line number ruler.
Please note that the Java editor code isn't API.
