How does one reuse the StructuredTextEditor in an RCP? [message #221824]

Is there a whitepaper or link to explain how to reuse the
StructuredTextEditor in an RCP? I already have an EMF model and would like
to integrate the structured EMF/XML text editing capabilities into the
application and perhaps enhance some of the completion proposals.

This article should help get you going:

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-WTP-Persisting-EMF/p ersisting.html

As for adding the structured text editor to your application and
leveraging the existing XML abilities:

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/components/sse/designs/E ditorConfiguration.html

They should get you pointed in the right direction.

It seems like the structured editor (xml editor?) is dependent on
org.eclipse.ui.ide, which means it is not RCP ready. Is this true?

Not sure....I've heard that some people have been able to get the XML
editor to run in an RCP application, but I haven't tried it myself.

Yes, it is true. We too have heard some people "get it working" ... but,
none of us
in core team ever understood that, and think some people mean "reduced
set of
platform plugins" when they say that they have it working as an RCP app.
We are also heavily dependent on the resource plugin for some of XML
Editor's
functionality (so, even if get it working as an RCP-like app ... would
not be fully
functional without "projects".
