Dominic,
Hey, I was up on the Burnaby Mountain at the SFU campus just last
week... :-)
I'm not sure exactly what you've tried. You can certainly create a
split pane within an editor (the mapping editors do this) but I don't
think you can dock a view in the editor area of an Eclipse perspective....

Well, actually, I'm at the Surrey campus for this job.
Anyway, what I'm trying to do is split a window in a CTabFolder, from the
main editor code, which is based off of MultiPageEditorPart. I've tried
both modifying the overridden createPages() method-such that a pair of
Composite objects are created between the CTabFolder and the TreeViewers
that actually display the content-and overriding ViewerPane-such that I
could override the createControl method to set a pair of Composite objects
between the CTabFolder and the TreeViewers.
Both attempts and variants have failed, as I either get a "Widget has the
wrong parent" error, since the ViewerPane's Control's parent is now not
the container, or there is no effect.
Hope that clarifies,
Dominic

Dominic,
I've not been to the Surrey campus for a while. I visited Rob Cameron
there the last time I went...
The org.eclipse.emf.mapping.presentation.MappingEditor would maybe be a
good example to look at because it has a split pane. You could create
an Ecore to Ecore mapping and then open that to see what the editor
looks like. In any case, your question is more of a basic SWT/JFace
question than an EMF one...

Hi Dominic
I think there is some confusion as to what you want. You started asking
about a split view which is two views of the same information and this
is what Ed has responded to. You then refer to trying multiple tabs,
which is rather different. If you want simple multiple tabs you could
check the multiple tabs that the default generated EMF editor gives you.
These use Viewers. If you want multiple EditorPart tabs you will have
to work hard; a fully-fledged MultiPageEditorPart is sadly lacking.
