KDV created IVYDE-396:
-------------------------
Summary: Reuse available XML editors - Ant Editor / XML editor -
for Ivy files
Key: IVYDE-396
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-396
Project: IvyDE
Issue Type: Proposal
Components: ivy editor, ivysettings editor
Affects Versions: 2.2.0.final
Reporter: KDV
Attachments: ANT XML editor.png, IvyDE XML Editor.png, WTP-CPP XML
editor.png
IvyDE has XML editor meant specially for Ivy files. Ant editor - for build.xml
- as part of Eclipse Platform is available in most Eclipse distribution
packs(Java, JEE...) And XML Editor is available in CPP distribution(s).
There is XML editor zoo in my Eclipse installations. E.g. in JEE: Ant editor,
Ivy editor and XML editor. In Embedded CPP there is XML editor too(well, have
no idea if IvyDE is useful in CPP-oriented enviroment).
They all use their own syntax highlighting. So, by default Ant files, Ivy files
and the rest xml files look different. And there is no single place to
configure it.
Why not to reuse available XML editor(s)? There will be less places to
configure in Eclipse Preferences and less subsystems to support.
