Editing deployment descriptor source

You can view and edit your adapter's deployment descriptor directly.
Although the Resource Adapter Deployment Descriptor editor provides a fully
functional and convenient method for viewing and editing the deployment
descriptor, you may find it useful to view or edit the ra.xml file directly. The steps
to do this are as follows:
1. Make sure that the ra.xml file is not currently displayed in the editor.
You cannot open the file if it is already open in the editor.
2. From the Project Explorer pane, select the Deployment Descriptor: Connector
<your connector name> file.
3. Right click and choose Open With → XML Source Page Editor
The XML Source Page Editor displays the ra.xml file.
