["KDV (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

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.
