> We need to edit process defs that are stored in a DB, as opposed to the processdefinition.xml, gpd.xml files stored in the workspace. There are currently many dependencies to FileEditorInput/File throughout GPD (as is the case for a lot of other Eclipse editors BTW).
> It would be very helpful if it would be feasible to separate out the code that deals with a particular type of IEditorInput from the rest of the editor, possibly into a separete delegate class. For FileEditorInput the delegate would deal with reading, writing, and syncronizing the view (resource listeners), plus whatever else I may have forgotten. We could then replace the default "file" delegate with our own that knows how to deal our DB (by subclassing of the editor would be fine). 
> Probably not the #1 GPD issue for many other users, but hopefully something you would keep in mind...
