I was trying to customize Eclipse for Android development and ran into this “problem”.
When you open a XML file with the Common Android XML Editor you get 2 tabs at the bottom, Graphical Layout and the regular text source.
When you open a XML file with the XML Editor you get 2 tabs, Design and Source. Design being the Node view which I find useful sometimes.
Is it possible to somehow get the Design tab in the Common Android XML Editor window?
As a user you cannot take a page from one editor and use it in another. Depending on the implementation details of the editor pages, a plugin developer could create a new editor implementation that re-uses existing pages.
