[news.eclipse.tools.ve] Make VE generate XML instead of Java

[saycheers@xxxxxxxxx (James P)]

Hi,
  Can anyone guide me on how I can extend VE to generate XML instead of 
Java? I want to extend VE by writing a complex widget. I want to make VE 
write the data collected from this widget to an XML file(representing the 
semantic model). I also want to save the visual data in my own file format 
(notational model) so that when I again open the file I can place the 
components in the correct location and populated with the correct data 
from my XML file.

> From the source code of VE I am trying to find out where exactly is it 
writing and reading the Java source code for the widgets (so that I can 
intercept it and read from and write to an XML file). I haven't had much 
luck. If someone can at least shed light on this I will be very thankful.

Thanks,
James.
