I have a multipage editor with one page having a text editor (in fact an Xtext editor) and one page having a GMF editor. Everything works fine, for the most part. However, I want a UI that is different from a tabbed folder. In particular, I'd like to have two panes side-by-side, like in a SashForm.
As far as I can tell, it is not possible to subclass the MultiPageEditorPart and replace the UI part. The method createPartControl is final and can't be overriden, and it is where the TabFolder container is created (via private method createContainer). I thought maybe I could override addPage. But it adds the nested editor to the private field nestedEditors, which is central to the multpage editor's functioning, but not accessible. In short, it seems that the TabFolder UI is tightly bound into the multipage editor and there is nothing one can do about it.
This is a shame because all the helpful stuff like MultiPageEditorSite and MultiPageEditorActionBarContributor can't be used without a MultiPageEditorPart. It looks like I will have to roll my own editor and emulate all the extra stuff.
Is my analysis wrong? Is there some way I can get a SashForm editor using MultPageEditorPart?
Thanks for any help.
