There where two systems in parallel for making the browser pluggable. I removed
one months ago
so we have just one.
It was really a mess: some caller uses “Smalltalk tools browser”, others
“SystemBrowser default”
(subclass of AppRegistry).
This was quite complex and everything was duplicated, and everything mixed
together.
(Smalltalk tools browser returned SystemBrowser default).
In short: a mess. It tool quite some effort to clean up.
Now the “Smalltalk tools browser” (ToolRegistry) is not perfect.
-> it should provide a way to register multiple implementations for the
same tool
-> it should provide a Settings interface to switch between the tools
-> it maybe should use pragmas instead of the current scheme
Yes, unifying everything to us ToolRegistry instead of AppRegistry meant we
lost the menu
entry… but now we have *one* mechanism, not two incompatible ones.
