hey folks,

i've updated the spec:

http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/hi/javamdr/index.html

it would be nice to link to it from the mdr module web page.

based on the meeting we had last week here in prague i've made a few 
minor changes to the spec:

1. the split in the explorer is not horizontal
2. removed spec for integrating parsing options with 3.x mount f.s. 
procedure. the spec now focuses purely on projects integration
3. added Source Editor section. this is new and only sketched out 
roughly based on comments in the meeting

Open Issues (from the document)

Does the tree work everywhere? Should some of the views have a different 
display model (list, tree table, etc)

What information has been left out of the spec. Specifically, in the 
Object Explorer, are there details in any of the views that should be 
added?

Is the UI implementable? The split pane spec'd here is a never before 
seen item for nb.

i'm going to be out of the office for a week, but please send all the 
feedback you care to -i'll sort it out starting monday the 16th. for 
those of us in prague, i'd like to plan on meeting the 17th or 18th to 
go over this draft and any feedback so we can get the spec into a 
finalized state.

cheers,
cL
