[eclipse-dev] Suggestion to move the XML editor to Eclipse platform?

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We use a lot of XML for platform development, for example plugin.xml,
component.xml, etc. We also have specialized "XML like" editors for
these components, e.g. the plugin.xml editor.

Was it considered in the past to contact the Eclipse WTP project and
suggest to move the XML editor to the platform? I assume other
components might also leverage from a strong XML support in the
platform.

Best regards, Lars
