Description

We currently dont support codemining in embedded editor
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1099143/
workaround: configure sourceviewer manually


	@Inject
	EmbeddedEditorFactory embeddedEditorFactory;
	
	@Inject
	ICodeMiningProvider cmp;
....
        IEditedResourceProvider resourceProvider = new MyDslEditedResourceProvider();
		EmbeddedEditor handle = embeddedEditorFactory.newEditor(resourceProvider).withParent(
				parent);
		EmbeddedEditorModelAccess partialEditor = handle.createPartialEditor("","Hello A!\nHello b!","", false);
		XtextSourceViewer viewer = handle.getViewer();
		viewer.setCodeMiningProviders(new ICodeMiningProvider[] {
			cmp
		});

Research direction

Start with EmbeddedEditorFactory, EmbeddedEditor, and XtextSourceViewer, using the supplied manual SourceViewer configuration as the behavioral reference. Trace how the embedded editor creates its viewer and determine where ICodeMiningProvider support should be exposed. Done means codemining works in the embedded editor without manually configuring the viewer.
