does this
http://www.eclipse.org/sapphire/documentation/latest/index.html looks
better or worse than what you recall ?
besides custom layout it seem to be pretty flexible from why I can see -
but wondering if the devil is in the details ;)
As long as you stay on the fairway, you shouldn't have any problems. I think, some of
the EE descriptor editors have been migrated to Sapphire. If you're happy with the UI
and the way it's structured, it is pretty nice. If we didn't have a requirement
for a graphical editor, we'd probably still be using it. I don't recall how/if it
integrates with SSE.
As I recall, customization was difficult to figure out. It looks like the basic mechanism
for this may have changed, but I don't remember enough to say.
