Here are some misc notes/suggestions to anyone looking to work on the
API editor:
* Convert org.objectstyle.wolips.bindings.api models to be backed by
"real" state rather than be backed by XML Elements. I think they
should probably be constructable with the XML elements, but being
backed by a DOM just makes any real editor obnoxious to write.
* Convert api models to fire property change events so they can
participate in JFace Data Binding
* Collapse API editor into a single form (remove tabs across the bottom)
** Move remove up to sit with the "Add" button like how it looks on
most of this style of form in Eclipse
** I think the binding type can switch to be a Combo, which opens up
that entire bottom right area
** Create a validation treeviewer that could go in the lower right
that works something like the extensions editor in plugin.xml -- each
validation would be a top level entry, and the tree represents the
logical structure below it. Each node should only expose the
validations that are legal to add to each point.
* Not sure we need "Remove API File" button anymore ... Maybe a
"Clear" button or something, though technically you should just be
able to select all and "Remove", which should effectively clear it out.
