Hi, I think the road to follow is to make core bundles who are needed for IDE compat free.
To my mind are coming: * org.eclipse.ui.navigator to get a project explorer * org.eclipse.text & org.eclipse.jface.text to get the main text editing infrastructure Something happing as part of that is to move the IEditorInput stuff from org.eclipse.ui to a standalone bundle and/or design a completely new story for editors & their input in e4 but I think for the start you should port IEditorInput directly. I've already done most of this when writing http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2013/03/11/build-an-intelligent-code-editor-with-javafx-and-jdt/ so I know for sure it is doable!
