Hi,
I need to be more specific: "we" means a bit wider part of community who
is working with Eclipse-based products that may include text editing.
Good part of them are using OSGi components and E4 Workbench and do not
want to degrade to E3 (or E2) architecture.
Sorry, Mickael, for not
Hi,
All I can throw into this discussion is
https://github.com/BestSolution-at/code-swt - It was a PoC which i did
not worked on afterwards.
In the end all main building blocks for editors are in
eclipse.text/jface.text who does not depend on any compat-layer APIs.

Hi,
See below a few question, and then some ideas.
> the core of the Generic Text Editor is not dependent on E3.
Can you please elaborate what you specifically mean by this? I'm not a e4
user myself (not really interested in it for my IDE-related work since e3
just does the job quite well), so
Hi Alexander,
I browsed the code of the "ExtensionBasedTextEditor" and for me it seemed
that at the core is the ProjectionViewer which is inside a bundle which
should be usable without a problem in E4. But as I'm not too familiar with
this code I might have (and probably did) miss some other core
Hi Stefan,
I'm not saying that this is impossible. It is not easy - but we can gain
a lot from this. Currently the E4 story is broken on the IDE boundary -
any attempt to introduce the IDE functionality returns you back to E3.
The Generic Text Editor may be a good starting point: it has a lot
Hi,
What do you mean by "core"? It is full of E3. We need to start from
detaching (altering) AbstractTextEditor from EditorPart
I think it is much cheaper to start new "org.eclipse.e4.ui.editors"
bundle than trying to remove E3 dependencies from the Generic Text Editor.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to integrate the Generic Text Editor into a pure E4
(SWT) RCP. I looked at the code and it seems to me that the core of the
Generic Text Editor is not dependent on E3.
Does anyone know of a previous effort to remove E3 dependencies / integrate
the editor into a pure E4
