There is a method in ACETextManger:

    public static ACEText getActiveACEText()

It gives you the ACEText object which is an extension of List<ACESnippet>,
so you can iterate over all the snippets in the text.
(This is the case in the current version.
In the next version of ACE View, you have to write acetext.getSnippets()
to get a list of snippets.)

I don't know if it's possible to write Protege 4 plugins that expect the
ACE View plugin to be present, and extend and use ACE View classes.
That would be a useful thing to have.

Anyway, I'll try to release the next version of ACE View before next Tuesday,
and include the source code as well, then you can see yourself what is the best
way to reuse the code.
