Description Paul Byrne 2002-05-16 01:04:47 UTC

Revisit the API to storing the extra data required
by the node editors. 

Rather than the current approach which is based on
properties I want to explore creating a class
hierarchy of the extra data and using the
XMLEncoder to store the data. This should be
cleaner, quicker to load and much less obscure.

Comment 1 Paul Byrne 2002-05-16 01:11:21 UTC

In order to be as flexible as possible the extra data objects should
be available as a list for each Node. This would enable two or more
editors for the same node to co-exist and maintain integrity of the
specialized data for each editor panel.
