[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: About Palette Customization

["Frank Dyck" <notmymail@xxxxxxxx>]

nonono i`m not doing this. :-)
It`just an idea i had while working on my customizer.
My editor is very generic in that it can load different palettes from a  
file.
(the palette is driven by a rdf schema, in the editor you create rdf files  
according to the schema)
The palette and thus the schema should be completely customizable, i.e.  
you can create a new palette from scratch. But by editing the palette you  
just edit the rdf schema which is also an rdf file just as the diagram.

that`s how  i came upon that idea when brainstorming for possible future  
development of the editor.

I won`t be implmenting it though. my own editor is hardly finished...
