[Angelo zerr <angelo.zerr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jetty Team,

I would like know if you are interested to have an Eclipse Plugins to manage XML Jetty config on other words : 

1.  having autocompletion+validation which follows DTD Jetty or XML Schema by using WTP Catalog.

2. having autocompletion+validation+hyperlink (Ctrl+click) for attributes values/names. 

2.1 Manage Java class

Ex : if you have this XML : 
<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">

2.1.1 having autocompletion for class attribute 
2.1.2 having hyperlink (Ctrl+clic) to open teh Java Edtor of the class.
2.1.3 having validation which set red marker if classes doesn't exists.

2.2 Manage XML Node Ref

Ex : if you have this XML : 

<New id="DeploymentManager" >

....

<Ref id="DeploymentManager">

2.1.1 in the id attr of Ref element having autocmpletion  (to show DeploymentManager)


2.1.2 having hyperlink (Ctrl+clic) to select New  element when you Ctrl+clic the id attr of Ref element
2.1.3 having validation which check that DeploymentManager exists.

I have a lot idea but before describing it I would like know if it's very important for you to have thoses plugins? I tell you that because I'm developping for WTP an XML Search engine which manage thoses case. I have intention to contribute to Eclipse WTP my XML search engine. Please see bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=330576

If you wish I could develop thoses features decribed below for Jetty. But if you think it's a toy, I don't prefer take my time to develop Jetty Plugins. Hope my idea will please you.
