    Description

      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.
