Creating FormEditors?

[ncook]

Our product will require FormEditors (org.eclipse.ui.forms.FormEditor), but I can't get Designer to load such a class in design mode (get the "Unknown window type" message).

This class is-a EditorPart, so I would think that this would be possible. Is there a work-around for this?

Any ideas?

The FormEditor class is a type of multipage editor. It does not define a layout itself. Rather, it pulls together one or more FormPages in its addPages() method.

As such, FormEditors themselves aren't very interesting. The interesting class is the FormPage class which you can create and edit...
