Just a progress report...
I've been working on the dialog and it's functioning pretty well now
with the basic enhancement. I've just got a bit more to do to clean up
loose ends and a background exception that's occurring (doesn't effect
creation but with revealing the stuff afterwards).
I'm also starting to have a look at the standard Java Class Wizard's
features as it's got some useful stuff too that would be quite useful
to incorporate. There's a lot of screen real-estate that's taken up in
the current component wizard with the explorer. But I can come back to
this part after getting the above finished off.
I'll keep you posted on progress. I'll have some patches by week's end.
