Correct...
We didi not implement this in eclipse plugin, but we did it in
Netbeans and this is basically the way to do it.
In fact we are using amx style APIS to do this even for remote servers
where domain. Xml is not accesible as a file.
Maybe you could contribute your work to our gf eclipse plugin?
