Hi,

Eclipse has a nice graphical editor framework plugin, GEF, that could be 
used for something like that. Once the Erlide environment is in place, I was 
thinking about trying something similar (but I'd start with something 
simpler, like the application monitor).

Regarding storing parse trees in the CVS, I think the disadvantage is just 
as big as the problem it solves: you won't be able to easily compare/merge 
different versions, unless using a special tool that will transform to text 
before comparing.

regards,
Vlad
