I am sorry I did forget to specify which tools I was mentioning about, it is not the Java one. In fact I haven't studied the Java work yet but will do soon. To tell you the truth, while writing down 4 monstrous archetypes (each having 1500-2000 lines!), I did not use an editor - just the good old vi(m). In writing my first archetype (MST-Colon) in 2003, there were no useful editors at all. But while writing others more recently, I tried with Ocean Editor first but then decided to write them manually. This is possibly due to my previous experience and also the nature of my archetypes: they contain similar and highly repetitive blocks where just copy & paste & modify is easy. However I think an archetype editor is very handy for domain experts (similar to people without in depth technical skills using high level programming languages like Visual Basic, Fox Pro or Clipper) while the ICT professionals or computer freak MDs like myself like to have more control (Like people writing C++ or even assembly language) and thus prefer the manual way. BTW I was wondering if the Java editor supports Unicode as I desperately need it.
