Well, I was once looking at that, and eventually got it to build and was operating it (I was using python, but lava should have worked just as easily). However it seemed like and ugly hack, and I didn't see how it could be fixed to work a a clean manner off hand.

First of all, the pink color where you haven't placed tiles is IMHO a bit ugly, something like a pattern (lowish contrast) or a less vibrant color would work nicer. Secondly, there appears to be no way of listing archtypes by name, which in my opinion is an important feature. Also, I think it looks a bit weird in the 'stack view'. In my opinion, the "del" buttons should just be icon based buttons, and the items themself would look better without the 3d widgetness (listbox as opposed to series of buttons) Also, the toolbox looks a little ugly to me. In my opinion the item name should again not be in a button there. Also, the way you title the section "Pick" looks a little odd to me, and the grid for the actions above, seems to have a bit too much whitespace in the buttons to appeal to the eye. In addition, one thing that would in my opinion be a big bonus, is instead of hardcoding how it deals with different object types, reading it out of the same xml files that CFJavaEditor uses for that. That would make it much easier to deal with new item types in the future, and would also make effort to improve that, apply to both editors, causing less effort on both sides to be wasted.
