We have our domain specific language based on xtext. For representation of language, we have our own editor in Eclipse. This editor is basically Eclipse plugin. Is there any way to port this eclipse editor plugin to Che?

As this is eclipse plugin, it's tightly coupled with the IResource model and Che don't support for IResource model, Is there any way to handle this scenario?

With Eclipse Che 5.0 and Xtext 2.11 released in early 2017 it is possible to have Xtext editors in Eclipse Che via the Language Server protocol.

Christian Dietrich of Itemis wrote a blog post about this recently with more details: https://blogs.itemis.com/en/how-to-get-started-with-xtext-language-servers-and-che

And of course, since Xtext is built on EMF, paying attention to the work of EMF on Che is important too, have a look at this series of blog posts, also from Feb 2017 http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2017/02/08/emf-support-for-che-day-0-motivation-and-getting-started/
