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

[Stephan Herrmann <stephan.herrmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

What's the goal here?
(1) ensure every Eclipse installation has a good XML editor?
(2) allow all plug-ins, even in the platform, to build specialized editors on top of a shared XML editor?

I'm asking, because the former sounds more like a packaging issue, not requiring to move any code
from one project to another.

Even for (2) isn't it possible to embed whatever XML editor you have installed into any multi-page editor?
IOW can/could PDE's plugin.xml editor have a page that would leverage WTP's XML editor *if* that is installed?
I might be daydreaming here ...
