Hi Mickael,

As you know I like the approach of eclipse bluesky. In fact, I am a bit
worried about the capacity of WTP team to improve the existing editors.
Team members did a great job but there is so much effort in CSS editor to
fix all existing problems like formatting.

I think we should replace WTP editors with new ones based on LSP4E/LSP4J
