Hi Jeff,
[I'm cross posting this to Doug Schaefer, the CDT project lead, because
this is actually a request for the CDT C++ editor to support ECF
real-time shared editing]

In general, for any Eclipse-based ITextEditor you can do this via this
procedure:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Extending_Real-Time_Shared_Editing_for_Use_with_Other_EditorsNow, I don't know the C++ editor, so I'm not sure if it implements
ITextEditor, and I also don't know what the C++ editor(s) context id is
(which is needed as described on the page above).
Ideally, the CDT project would agree to add the markup described on the
page above to their C++ editor...which would then automatically enable
the editor with shared editing capabilities (as we did for the java and
txt editors) if ECF and docshare had been installed. But that is their
choice.
(BTW, we've heard the WTP project intends to do exactly this for a
number of their xml editors and other editors within WTP).
Thanks,
Scott
