[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Embedding a text editor in another edito

[Paul Webster <pwebster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think those are all custom work, probably based on SourceViewer 
(although I'm not 100% sure).

While you might be able to call some of the lifecycle methods on 
IEditorPart (init(*), createPartControl(*), etc) since it wouldn't be 
part of the workbench model, parts of the embedded editor functionality 
would not work (like most of the keybindings).

Eclipse doesn't support nesting components (no editors in editors, no 
editors in views, and nothing in a dialog :-)

There are 2 parts that might be able to help.  MultiPageEditorPart (the 
PDE Editor is based on this) and MultiEditor.  Both support embedding 
editors with varying degrees of success.
