    Resolution: Won't Fix


We do not envision this kind of extension at the moment. If you would like to implement it and contribute the code you can reopen the issue and provide an attachment.

> 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...
