Hi,

I want to start discussion of "Hibernate Configuration 3.0 XML Editor".

This rather strange editor is situated in

trunk\hibernatetools\plugins\org.jboss.tools.hibernate.xml

trunk\hibernatetools\plugins\org.jboss.tools.hibernate.xml.ui

I call it strange cause it in hibernatetools in svn repository, but really this is Jboss Tools thing and it was nether in Hibernate Tools.

Some users has questions about this and create such bugs in jira:

For them and for me (if I think about myself as Hibernate Tools user, not a developer) it is difficult to explain, why I should take a lot of things

from JBoss Tools if I just want to use separate Hibernate Tools. As a developer I see advantages of common things…

To make it more useful I create JIRA issue far time ago:

there are no changes since that time.

I want to enhance this editor to make it more useful and I want to integrate it into Hibernate Tools.

For this it is necessary to separate org.jboss.tools.hibernate.xml and org.jboss.tools.hibernate.xml.ui, make it detached from XModel…

So I want to hear some arguments pro/contra this solution and/or may be some advises howto possible make this changes in better manner.
