Re: Beta version of XVisualNavigator (XVN)

Hi Shameera,

nice extension so far. What do you mean exactly with platform
independent? As far as i can see it is implemented in Java.

Anyway a better and smoother integration in the office UI would be nice.
I mean using the internal toolkit from the office and make it dockable
etc.. I know it is more work and not so nice to use as Java directly but
the integration in the office is definitely smoother and better.

It would be a pleasure for me to help you where i can.
