The editor shows a pom.xml fragment, but still unconditionally changes pom.xml.
I like the feature, but think it would be better to implement it as arquillian.xml/arquillian.properies validator.
The validator would create markers that could have quickfixes that would refactor pom.xml in the standard way, that is, using a refactoring dialog, a pom.xml preview ...
There are a few bugs (when editing pom.xml and arquillian.xml at the same time, for instance) that could be fixed. However, the editor has been implemented from scratch what would make maintenance more difficult. In my opinion, it would be better to implement the editor using the [Saphire framework|http://www.eclipse.org/sapphire/] or the JBoss XModel framework. I would like to try to implement it using the Saphire framework because it is better documented.
