Hi Mark,
Thank you for your reply, that is what in my mind :-)
As we know, Tapestry focus on components, each page is made up of many
compoents. This development model like Visual Studio very much, if we
develop C# asp.net application, each page is made up of a .aspx file and a
.cs file, and Visual Studio supply a editor for us to edit these two files
together, we can easily transfer between these two files, even we can not
feel that they are two files. Page property view is also a necessary part of
this editor. This design model help me much when i was developing
asp.netapplication.
Tapestry focus on components too, i think Java open source community should
supply such a convinent development environment like Visual Studio for
Tapestry, this will improve develop feeling, help us much. So i want to
finish a editor for Tapestry
