Adrian A. commented on CLK-421:
-------------------------------
> -1 for including this in Click. It adds no value to the target audience, the
> corporate developer.
This is practical for demos in first place, but for for commercial applications
"in developer mode" too, to quickly look at the target sources (like
click-examples does).
New developers in an existing project like this because they very quickly can
connect the visual think with the code, thus reducing the learning time.
(It is also possible to connect this with "open source in IDE" plug-ins)
This component is also useful in CMSes, Blogs, eLearning - in Admin mode, or
any webapplication that allow branding. It is incredible, but many of them (I
mean commercial an expensive) show only simple text and the uses are quite
unhappy.
I also saw that there are a few similar components in the sandbox ( e.g. syntax
highlight code editor). Combined with that, a CMS would be even better.
Also as the reporter points out correctly in the issue description, the
concurrent frameworks don't have such a thing.
So, I think for the reasons above, it should be included since it's quite
simple.

> Please move the SourceViewer utility class from click-examples to some util
> package inside click because:
> - it is usable in more places than just click-examples, and users duplicate
> it all the time, by copy and paste.
> - it could be used even in error reporting to display nice source code where
> errors appear.
> - even ClickClick has a duplicated class for SourceViewer
> - it would be much simpler to make other example webapplications
> moredeveloper friendly if this
> class would be present in utils.
> - other concurrent frameworks don't have such an utility and display pure
> text :).
> Thank you,
> Demetrios.
