Open XML configuration to the Configuration XML rather than Message Flow

Question

Is there a setting in AnyPoint 6.1.2 that would allow opening a config file directly into the Configuration XML rather than the graphical Message Flow?

I prefer to edit directly in the XML editor.

I have looked in Window/Preferences and throughout. I am unable to find a setting that would default to the Configuration XML tab.

Thanks!

Answer 1

not as far as i know. some colleague of mine started using the default xml editor provided by eclipse for the same reason. it has some drawbacks, but works surprisingly well.

things like code assist in mule expressions will be missing.

^{mule configuration editor with code assist}

^{plain xml editor without code assist}

xml-related features like available elements and attributes and validation according to xml schema will work.

^{available elements in plain xml editor}

^{warning because of empty flow}
