[jwt-dev] Making new JWT metamodel elements visible in the JWT WE UI

[Marc Dutoo <marc.dutoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks very much Christian & Florian, this is what I needed ^^

About the extension spec, it is still a work in progress, I wanted to 
share where I was going to. I'm sure you'll have valuable input on the 
different alternatives as well !

Regards,
Marc
