unless I missed something, to embed an editor in the Multipage editor, you need to instantiate it. The org.eclipse.ui.internal.genericeditor.ExtensionBasedTextEditor.ExtensionBasedTextEditor() is unfortunately part of internal API.

It is already used in m2e for the MavenPomEditor for instance https://git.eclipse.org/c/m2e/m2e-core.git/tree/org.eclipse.m2e.editor/src/org/eclipse/m2e/editor/pom/MavenPomEditor.java#n337

it would be nice to have an API o create the editor in order to embed in a multipage editor. Either by making the class part of public API or by providing a specific method.
