Brian Fitzpatrick commented on JBIDE-4691:
------------------------------------------

What exactly was done? Can we see the work being done? Screen shots, documentation? I'm VERY curious as to what parts of the info was moved into different views vs. tabs in the editor itself. 

The reason I suggested multiple pages in the first place was because the editor is managing one resource and there may have been well-defined groups of tasks that could make the information load easier on the user. All in one tab was a bit much. :)

> Split the editor into more tabs than just "Design" and "Source" to help the user find a consistent set of steps. For example, an "Input/Reader" tab would allow the user to select a sample input file and define the type of reader used to parse it into usable chunks. A "Bind Data" tab would help the user bind the parsed input data into an object model. And then an "Actions" tab (or some better description) would then help the user take the object model and work on the data performing splits, transformations, and routing as appropriate.
