I know it sounds easy therefore I wish someone has done it.
My scenario would be:
- first a checkout, creates a bunch of xml files of the selected files
and spaces
- for some of the xml files, "extract text and save aside with proper
extension"
- edit happily with IDE tools
- update because others have worked, that merges (that's probably the
hardest)
- edit happily with IDE tools
- commit to xwiki (for these spaces and files), the ant tool would
first make an xml file with the revised source
thanks for the pointers at least.

Hi Paul!
You could easily make such a tool by using the available XML-RPC API.
That would be easy except for the object/class editor I think.

Just use these the jars in the
org.xwiki.eclipse.xmlrpc package from
XEclipse (
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xeclipse/trunk/plugins/org.xwiki.eclipse…
).
For an example of using the XML-RPC API, you could look at the
RemoteXWikiDataStorage.java file at
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xeclipse/trunk/plugins/org.xwiki.eclipse…
Of course, you do have the
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC link which
you
should check out, but I think that if you are already a bit familiar
with XEclipse, you might find that the Java file I specified offers
more
specific examples of handling content.
Let us know how it turns out. :)
