Description Pavel Flaska 2002-06-14 18:22:00 UTC

We will need Looks for Class, Field, Method,
Initializer, possibly for Package and Source,
which will use JMI/MDR and the updater to extract
or edit data. These Looks should be extensible by
other modules that need to integrate with element
presentation UI. There could be even
project-neutral Looks for the case the user will
be browsing in FileSystems tab. Such Looks could
be very limited in their functions.

Comment 1 Pavel Flaska 2002-10-07 13:10:11 UTC

Looks are part of java/javaui module. Bear in mind that they are built
on the top of looks module from looks_jul_2002_private branch.
Open issues:
- they doesn't contain property editors for MDR objects;
- looks doesn't update their state if MDR object is changed (they are
listening on instances, but they do nothing - no need for special
task, trivial changes are needed - I'm only waiting for updater to
create and test look-update functionality)
