Currently the editors for MContext application model elements have the properties on the first tab, while variables and tags are on the Supplementary tab. Variables and properties are tight connected, so they should be editable on the same tab. So to make the editor more concise, tags, variables and properties should be located together on the Supplementary tab.
I have also noted that "persisted state" is sometimes on the first, sometimes on the second tab. I can fix this, but before, we should discuss the desired state. I think "binding context" should stay on the first tab. So AFAICS, we have max the following things for the supplementery tab depending on the type: Accessibility phrase Tags Persisted State Variables Context Properties That would also be my preferred order, what do you think?
Sounds good to me. IIRC that is what Tom and I discussed at EclipseCon. @Tom What do you think?
@Lars: Before I start on this now, do we consider changes in the e4 tools UI an API break?

Depends on the MANIFEST.MF, everything this is not exported or marked as x-internal/ x-friends is internal. If we did it correct in the past, the e4 tools should not define any API.
