Think XmlFormRenderer.java is the file from which "Export" is getting appended. This being a core portion of the framework, not sure how to go forward without touching it. Is there a easy way to use a custom XMLFormRenderer? The idea is to export GLAccount details for 3rd party accounting package directly meeting their schema. Would like to keep it flexible so that in future it can be easily extended to cover more than 1 3rd party package.
