Description Jon Koplin 1999-06-23 19:50:47 UTC 
The Explorer should be torn in two.  It should only include  Environment, Project Settings, and Session settings and a stripped down Repository that shows only the Top level directory name of mounte
d directories and jars. In my opinion it shouldn`t allow browsing of the repository since the object browser does this in a much better way.  The object browser should include bean patterns, property
pane, and possibly a component inspector like pane.  It should also show text files, properties files, html files, etc. as objects so that you can open them from there.
