Doesn't look like there is an extension point for this, so I decided to look
at the source.

I found the code in CVS for the version I have in my current Eclipse setup
(org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui_1.1.1.v200908242115), so I checked out that version
from CVS but it doesn't compile.

The MANIFEST.MF has no problems, but the plugin.xml complains about some
missing IDs.  The rest of the problems (3000+) are Java compilation errors
for things like missing SWT widgets.

I checked my target platform and it is set to 'Running Platform' - so I
would expect it to be able to find everything it needs to compile since the
MANIFEST.MF has no problems, right?

I'm running on Mac OS 10.6, with Eclipse:

Version: 3.5.1

Build id: M20090917-0800

My plan was to see if I could add an extension point and then contribute the
patch.

Any ideas how to get this compiling?

At this stage I might fall back on the XML editor in the plugin wizard, but
I really wanted the WST XML Editor functionality since it is extremely rich
in comparison to the plugin template XML editor.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Chris
