Dirk,

    It appears our backup email server here has been eating my mailing list
for some reason.  This is a great point.  What I did for the pallet view for
now is to create a new extension point to allow new pallet view
implementations to be registered.  The user can switch between pallets by
selecting the preferred pallet in the Preference page.  The reason for this
move is that when dealing with workspaces that contain many dialogs,
fragments, and custom integration libraries the original pallet is quite
lacking and very cumbersome to use.  The pshelf widget allows a more
condensed and accessible way of viewing the pallet groups.  If you do not
have the pshelf project installed, you simply will only have the original
pallet view available for use.  If you install the pshelf project, the new
pallet view will become available.  There should not be any loss of
functionality if you don¹t want to have it installed.  Does this help clear
up how it works and why it was added?

Hi,

I am still concerned about the following point in one of my previous
emails.

> This project is still in the incubation phase. I do not have any idea

I did not get an answer, yet. I think that it would be good to have a
statement on it.

Dirk
