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.
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)
