[teiid-dev] CDK Toolkit Plugin Specifics

[Sumanth P K]

Sanjay,

I have been looking regarding the custom editor implementation. Which one
from your experience in Eclipse Plugin Development is a better approach:
1) Building a Custom Editor by extending from the Eclipse Text Editor OR
2) Using the EMF approach where we define a model, tansform it into an Ecore
Model and build the editor for it.

Thanks,
Sumanth.
