Hi,

Currently in ESB Graphical Composer tool, there is only one category for
all the mediators in tool palette. Mediators are arranged in
an alphabetical order to increase the efficiency of searching for a
mediator.

But while having a discussion regarding the editor with Samisa, we realized
that existing categorization (one category with alphabetical order) would
be helpful if user knows the name of the mediator exactly. So existing tool
palette will not guide a new user appropriately.

As a solution, it is proposed to have a proper categorization for the
mediators in the tool palette. For an example we can categorize mediators
into "Filters", "Extensions" etc. as management console does. So users can
easily search the mediators in relevant category since category name is
giving a general idea about that group of mediators.
Another advantage of using categorization is we can apply different color
themes for different categories. It will increase the readability of the
diagram.

WDYT ?


Thanks,
Viraj.
