I’m building a plugin for Katalon Studio that needs to execute when the cursor moves inside Katalon Studio. Since this Katalon is eclipse based, I would need to use `org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI` but it’s not available in the example plugin. I tried adding `org.eclipse.ui` as a dependency in my `pom.xml` but getting this error when running `mvn clean install`:

` The following artifacts could not be resolved: xml-apis:xml-apis-ext:jar:1.0.0.v20230923-0644 (absent): Could not find artifact xml-apis:xml-apis-ext:jar:1.0.0.v20230923-0644 in org.eclipse.platform (https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2023-09/)`

I’m trying to use `PlatformUI` to listen for editor document events. For ex:

```auto
// window changed event listener
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getPartService().addPartListener(editorListener);

```

Can someone help get this plugin working?
