    Looking better. Here are a few thoughts using mike's red pen:


    Picture_5.jpg

    - There is no validation failure reason for not being able to click
    finish.
    - Providing a no content option in the doctype combo could possibly
    eliminate the need for the doctype checkbox.
    - Remove the WOO checkbox, if you can't change it you don't need to
    show it.
    - Remove the API checkbox, this is pretty useless without custom
    templates, it would otherwise be empty, and it's created on demand
    anyway.
    - The encoding combo can probably shrink down a bit now after dropping
    the NSOverlyVerboseObjectiveCEncodingNames.
    - Package textbox is shorter? Is this the max length java allows? Why
    not the same length as superclass?
    - How many people are honestly going to need or use interfaces with a
    wocomponent, ever? Regular java classes I use them often, but never
    for wocomponents.
