Re: [teiid-dev] CDK Toolkit Plugin Specifics

No; I was suggesting to use the existing sheet-tab properties editor infrastructure of eclipse. If you install the WTP SDK and try opening any .xsd file, you will see some of the different things that can be done on the Properties view. Normally it should automatically open up; else you may use Windows -> Show View -> Properties. Since ra.xml needs an editor, potentially we can extend the existing XML editor and also enhance it for being able to address any changes made through the xml editor also and be able to generate get/set as mentioned by Ramesh. So users may decide to directly change the xml using the xml editor or use the properties view. Enhancing the XML editor can also get fancy by content-assist, problem-markers etc. and potentially this can be renamed as a specific editor, similar to the plugin manifest editor, which knows how to handle called plugin.xml

I am not sure if the current structure of ra.xml is complete; however based on what I see, some meaningful tab segregations can be done; Ramesh would be a better person to dictate how he would want to group the sections.
