Re: [platform-ui-dev] Show error messages directly in editor

After searching a while the sources I found out that the base functionality is done by org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText. It seems that this class is only responsible to work with text, adding other data that are not text seems not to be possible. Probably this has to be done by oneself.

I found the following screenshot on the Internet, it is taken from Apples Xcode IDE:

I'm wondering if the text editors of Eclipse or the underlying components of SWT are able to provide the inline error messages one can see on the right side of the screenshot.

I have no insight on how the text editors of Eclipse are written internally, thus my question is whether they already provide a way to add such a feature to them? Or is this more a task like go to the root and hack everything?
