Hi John, 

I see that you are adding a listener
directly to the model (model.addListener(this)). I don't know your code
(so maybe it doesn't matter), but probably you want to use textview.addEventListener("ModelChanging",
context, func, data).
The difference is that the textview
is a listener of the model and using textview.addEventListener() makes
sure the textview is the last listener of the model to run. If your listener
is doing something that changes how the view display the content (like
syntax highlighter) then you definitely want to use textview.addEventListener
instead of of model.addListener.

I made progress on understanding the Orion plugin model.

One very cool thing is that you can simply create an Orion project for
your plugin and install the dev version (or so it seems).

So for example I have my plugin at:
http://localhost:8080/edit/edit.html#/file/h/content/orionPlugin/firebugConnection.html
then I can install
http://localhost:8080/file/h/content/orionPlugin/firebugConnection.html

The plugin registration code needs to run when the html file loads 
(onload event). Makes sense. The plugin is loaded in an iframe 
immediately below the top level, so your implementation objects need to
be in that scope. I've previously worked out how to connect to Firebug,
so I can connect the plugin to orion and the plugin to firebug.

But now I'm stuck. I need to implement
        // eclipse.TextModel listener
        onChanged: function(start, removedCharCount,
addedCharCount, 
removedLineCount, addedLineCount)
       
then listen to the editor model:
            this.model = editorContainer.getEditorWidget().getModel();
            this.model.addListener(this);

But I don't have editorContainer, it's in another window. (In the 
embedded case I was injecting my code in the same window as the editor.)

Any hints?
