Re: [geclipse-dev] Trace Viewer sources and releases

[Thomas Köckerbauer <tkoeck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm usually making everything invisible to the outside that is not required 
for the extension points, but that is not set in stone.
If you need to be able to access something that is not visible right now just 
tell me (or send a patch) and we can change that, or if that would expose to 
much implementation detail tell me what you would need maybe we can then 
provide it by some extension point.


Kind regards,
Thomas
