Since changing a source or target type invalidates all mappings anyway, I don’t think this is much of an inconvenience. It also makes life simpler as we won’t need to change the Camel config from within the mapper editor any longer to update source/target types. If we went ahead with this plan, then my comments above about skipping the source/target pages in the wizard would no longer apply. Instead, we would have a page where the user had a type browser where they selected the source and target type on each page.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>So if the user changes their mind about source and/or target, they just delete the existing transformation.xml before restarting the wizard?</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hopefully, this all makes sense.
