Tom Fennelly updated JBIDE-5358:
--------------------------------

    Assignee:     (was: Tom Fennelly)


Smooks editor is no longer being developed.  Moving non-bug/feature tasks to "LATER" and unassigning them.  Might end up just closing all of these as Out of date.

> At the moment, we iterate down the object model and add all sub-objects etc.  This is looking a bit messy because:
> 1. It requires the user to expand out a tree in the bottom half of the bean creation dialog, selecting the sub-domain objects he/she wants to be added.
> 2. The beans all land on the canvas at the one time, which requires a load of rearranging etc
> I think it would be nicer for the user if only the bean class entered in the Bean Creation wizard was dropped on the canvas, with all it's properties, but not drop in the sub-domain classes, wired together etc (as now).  If some of the properties are for sub-domain objects, the user should be able to right-click and add, resulting in that sub-domain object being added etc etc.  The user can expand it out as they want.
