This possibly sounds like an odd request, but is there a way to create an
editor in the view area?
Here's the longer version of the question:
We have a requirement for a command-line view for our Eclipse-based IDE.
That's easy, but what I would really like is a command-line with
content-assist, chromo-coding, bracket matching, etc just like our editor.
So I thought that maybe the way to go would be to create a single-line
"editor" because the command line view is really a specialization of our
language-specific editor. The problem is that this commandline must live at
the bottom-most area of the workbench below the editor area and below some
other views.
Has anyone done something like this?

That's correct, the editor I want to re-use is a sub-class of
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractDecoratedTextEditor, which is an
IEditorPart.
Thanks Paul. I'll check things out at the JFace level. I still hold out
hope that I may find some way to be able to do the work closer to the
AbstractDecoratedTextEditor class.
