In my opinion that just means implementing new editor from scratch. In doing so, you will develop components that you may wish to put to common. We have many xml editors, there ui has a lot in common, so why not share new approaches between them? And that is exactly what XModel framework does. Plugins .hibernate.xml and .hibernate.xml.ui include just few lines of code customizing components developed in common. Why 'integrating editor into Hibernate Tools' should mean separating it from common?

The problem is that common isn't just common. It includes ton's of jsf, xhtml, jsp and even struts references. That is what we need separated before I'm ok having Hibernate tools feature depend on it.

i.e. if I *only* install Hibernate tools feature it should *not* result in other additional editors such as jsf, jsp, xhtml etc. to be installed.

That were the case last time I tried it - if that has changed we should look at it again.
