Description Thomas Schindl CLA 2013-05-18 13:14:05 EDT 
e4 on SWT provides a very powerful live editor allowing developers to inspect the current workbench informations.

We should provide similar support and maybe better support than SWT does? e.g. marking contribution can be done more easier using CSS rules.

Main features:

    inspect running UI
    modify running UI
    inspect Contribution Instances (via Java Reflection)
    allow execution of JavaScript? (maybe use the editor from fx-ide for syntax highlighting)
