You are right in the assumptions about MANIFEST.MF, but the 3000
errors must be trying to tell you otherwise. Does the PDE editor for
plugin.xml give you any warnings if you open it?
You may want to take a look at how the XSD editor is constructed, it
extends the XML editor, altough it only reuses the source page.
Other sources of inspiration might be the JBoss IDE's Seam "page.xml"
editor, or the tooling for faces-config.xml (I don't know if that is
from WTP or JBoss IDE, in fact).
You needn't check out the source to peek at the source, and to extend
the editor, though, you can add the SDK feature from Software Update,
create your plugin and specify the xml bundles, and then you can
explore them with source from your workspace. Or you can import them
as projects using the PDE import wizard, sing the "as full projects
with source" option.
Hope this helps!

Doesn't look like there is an extension point for this, so I decided
to look at the source.
I found the code in CVS for the version I have in my current Eclipse
setup (org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui_1.1.1.v200908242115), so I checked out
that version from CVS but it doesn't compile.
The MANIFEST.MF has no problems, but the plugin.xml complains about
some missing IDs. The rest of the problems (3000+) are Java
compilation errors for things like missing SWT widgets.
I checked my target platform and it is set to 'Running Platform' -
so I would expect it to be able to find everything it needs to
compile since the MANIFEST.MF has no problems, right?
I'm running on Mac OS 10.6, with Eclipse:
Version: 3.5.1
Build id: M20090917-0800
My plan was to see if I could add an extension point and then
contribute the patch.
Any ideas how to get this compiling?
At this stage I might fall back on the XML editor in the plugin
wizard, but I really wanted the WST XML Editor functionality since
it is extremely rich in comparison to the plugin template XML editor.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Chris

OK, I found the documentation on creating my own content types here:
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/runtime_content.htm
So any thoughts about adding a new page to the XML editor?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Having Googled the web and mail archives I'm hoping someone can
point me in the right direction of some documentation or articles on
how to extend the XML editor.
I can see that the editor has two pages, Design and Source. I'd
like to add a third page which renders the XML in a particular way
(for those who are interested, in order to render an Apache Pivot
layout).
Also, is it possible to have my plug-in programatically add the
extension to the list of those that the XML editor can handle?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Chris
