I have now made use of four of the experimental oXygen plugin workspace API options (on a Mac running OS X - Snow Leopard) : (1) getOptionsStorage - This has a straightforaward interface, which worked as expected. (2) createNewEditor - This was slightly more awkward to use in our plugin's context (more details below). (3) getEntityResolver - Works as expected (thanks). (4) getURIResolver - Appears to works as expected (but currently, not tested). I have managed to get the 'createNewEditor' API call to create a fresh document that is considered to be modified, using the following code: Writer writer = new StringWriter(); ... // Write to the string. ... URL url= workspace.createNewEditor("xml", "text/xml", writer.toString()); WSEditor ed=workspace.getEditorAccess(url, StandalonePluginWorkspace.MAIN_EDITING_AREA); ed.setModified(true); Observations: (1) This approach may be problematic for big documents, as the whole document is stored in a string. (2) The created document is not marked as modified. There are at least two ways of addressing the first of these points. One approach is to create a small blank document that is then overridden using the WSEditod's realoadContent(Reader). Here, the question I had was: what is the minimal XML document that can be overridden (and get the right document type association - e.g. DITA)? It might be that oXygen could automatically create such a document from the first two arguments of the createNewEditor method. A second approach could be to replace the third argument of the createNewEditor method with a java.io.Reader argument, such as is used when reloading a document into an existing WSEditor (editor.reloadContent(reader)). Overall, I am pleased with these experimental enhancements.
