irene, let's go back to some basics, first, and then to back to the source code.

Have you actually got a version of WTP up and running yet? That should be your first step.
And doing that successfull means you at least have all the right pre-reqs, etc.
And, you should always look for the "SDK" version to install. You probably only need wst-sdk
and all it's pre-reqs, of course.

Then, just having the SDK there gives you all the source, and you can tweak it, to change behavior, etc.

(Or, better yet, there's probably ways you can improve the editor, wihtout changing the editor code, but by writing your own plugins, that "extend" some functionality of the editor, and you don't need to modify the editor code at all. For example, you can add some context menus very easily.

I'll stop here, in case I'm way off base and you already kmow all of the above.
