Q: multiple views

Hi,

I was looking for examples on how to implement a
module supporting multiple views. Two approaches used
by netbeans modules were found:

1) Property Editor: one can "open" a property file in
a GUI editor or "edit" it in a text editor. Each
action opens a separated top component.

2) Java Form Editor: one can "open" a Java form in a
GUI editor or "edit" it in a text editor. However,
both action interact with the same top level TC.

The first approach, one view per TC per action, is
probably easier to implement. The second approach, one
view per action in a shared TC, looks a lot better but
may require some more work to implement.

Is there a netbeans UI standard on how to implement a
module with multiple views? Any suggestion on which
approach should be used?

Thanks,
