[oXygen-sdk] Enhancement request for AttributeEditingContextDescription

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Jan,

Adding the:

> ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.standalone.AttributeEditingContextDescription.getEditedAttributeValue()

API seems feasible. We'll try to add it in time for Oxygen 15.2 which 
should be released in a couple of weeks.

A possible workaround until then would be to do something like:

>     WSEditor currentOpeneEditor = PluginWorkspaceProvider.getPluginWorkspace().getCurrentEditorAccess(PluginWorkspace.MAIN_EDITING_AREA);
>     if(currentOpeneEditor != null) {
>       WSEditorPage currentPage = currentOpeneEditor.getCurrentPage();
>       if(currentPage instanceof WSAuthorEditorPage) {
>         //Most probably we are editing the attributes for the node in which the caret is placed.
>         WSAuthorEditorPage authPage = ((WSAuthorEditorPage)currentPage);
>         try {
>           AuthorNode currentEditedNode = authPage.getDocumentController().getNodeAtOffset(authPage.getCaretOffset());
>           if(currentEditedNode.getType() == AuthorNode.NODE_TYPE_ELEMENT) {
>             AuthorElement elem = (AuthorElement) currentEditedNode;
>             //The current @href attribute value.
>             AttrValue currentHrefValue = elem.getAttribute("href");
>           }
>         } catch (BadLocationException e) {
>           e.printStackTrace();
>         }
>       }
>     }

Radu
