multiple views/editors per object (nested editors)

is defining -> P1
Comment 2 santhosh 2004-04-23 04:39:56 UTC
one use case:

suppose I have a html FileObject.
netbeans has following list of webbrowser services:
  1. Swing HTML Browser
  2. Internet Explorer
  3. Netscape Navigator
  4. ICE Browser

Different users might want to open the same file using different 
browser of their choice.

The OpenAPI contains NewAction, which lists array of NewType[]
similary why don't we have OpenWithAction,with lists array of OpenAs[]

Suppose I have different modules installed for editing a particular 
file. for examle using text editor, tree editor and graph editor. 
then user should be given a choice to choose his favourite editor 
depending upon his requirement.

in my opinion this is out of scope of the multiview APIs and the
multiview module. The decision what is put inside the multiview
component is done on the html module side or whoever is the creator of
the multiview component instance.
