Follow up from bug 307524. PDE should remove its documentCreation extension for XML documents/PDE editors when WST removes their extension for XML documents. Bug 268635 has been filed against WST for this.
*** Bug 351475 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Short of removing ours, which would be a large an API breaking undertaking, which test suites would our document implementation need to pass for the PDE to be comfortable removing theirs?

I was not involved in the original bug. But I would only consider removing PDE's documentCreation extensions, if WST ensures that the default document is created for all PDE content types. Any test suite - even if complete ATM - would become outdated.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
