Re: Vertical line in editor - is it possible?

See this article about creating an Eclipse plug-in for an LPEX user profile:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0607_casey/0607_casey.html

Your plug-in must define the "preload" extension, in order for the LPEX 
Editor plug-in to be able to run a class from yours.
