Hey,
Does anyone know of a way to extend the XML editor, so that, for example,
when a new file is created with an .xml file extension, not only is a
Design and Source page available, but also a custom page, relating to the
xml.
I've looked at some examples, e.g. Plugin.xml and
orbeon.oxfstudio.eclipse.monitor.log4j.editors.LogEventEdito r (thanks
foo), but they all seem to be writing XML editors from scratch, rather
than extending the existing one, which is so good, i do want to use.
But also I the only xml related extension-point i could find in the
"com.ibm.etools" plug-ins was "com.ibm.etools.xmlbuilder.catalogFileType",
which I don't think is any help.
Does anyone have any suggestions, before i scrap the idea of trying to
extend the XMLEditor?
Thanks, Jen

Hi Jen,
Judging from your reference to "com.ibm" extension point, you are looking at
the original IBM contribution code for Web Tools. Instead, look at the
latest integration build of WTP project and/or its CVS source. A new M2
build is planned for Dec 22nd.
I don't think there is an extension point for what you want to do, but
writing a new plugin that adds a new custom page should be quite easy. As
an example, look at the xsd.ui plugin. It reuses the source page editor
from xml.ui plugin, and adds a new graph page for viewing the XSD structure.
Cheers,
Dave Carlson

Hey Dave,
Thanks for the info. Is the xsd.ui plugin also part of the original IBM
contribution? If not, where can I find its java source?
Thanks, Jen

Hi Jen,
I don't think there is any need to use the old IBM contribution zip --
everything in it has been updated and moved into the Eclipse project CVS.
I didn't spell out the complete project names, they are:
org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui
org.ecipse.wst.xsd.ui
You can download the lastest I-build, or connect to CVS using these
instructions:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/main.html
Cheers,
Dave
