The webEditingPlugin is reaching into the editor code to get CSS content assist and HTML highlighting. These are basically sample implementations of generic APIs that it wraps up as services. Should package these samples in a better place (outside the editor code, maybe examples/editor) so they can be reused sensibly.
Right now core components depend on the editor. Editor does not depend on core (except by a few examples, but that could be modified). So I would say that having webEditingPlugin inside core and reaching in the editor is better than the other way around. It is funny that the editor bundle is more "core" than the core bundle. But that is due to the way the core bundle is organized. It would look better if the core was divided so that core only really includes the core bits (like requirejs, services, registry, etc) without any dependencies. The rest of the stuff that is there should be moved to a ui bundle or similar. Thought ?

I don't think the shape of what goes into which OSGi bundle is all that important at this stage. People consuming our scripts are just going to copy them from whatever directory we put them in, and they will assemble them together in perhaps a completely different shape. Neither of the OSGi bundles (core, editor, git) have any dependency on each other because OSGi doesn't capture JS dependencies. So basically what we are discussing is should the script go in one directory or another... Anyway, in the end we probably do want to put the scripts used by plugins separate from the "core" scripts that aren't coming from plugins. That's what I was starting to do with webEditingPlugin by creating a separate directory for its scripts. I don't really care which OSGi bundle we put those scripts in but I do think the scripts used by a given plugin should be packaged together.
