Just thinking out loud here, on behalf of no one but myself...

If you really take advantage of JFace Text, editors are extremely 
language-specific -- auto indent strategy, content assist, hyperlinking, 
double click strategy, and of course syntax highlighting.  It's also 
relatively easy to write one (I made a simple but fairly comprehensive 
one with everything but content assist in about 12 hours).  With that in 
mind, if one were to build an editor and corresponding outline view 
independent of the CDT (yeah, that would ignore the model and indexer 
completely), what else would be necessary to give the illusion of CDT 
integration?  (Tool chains, obviously... and?)
