Editor...

Hey Everyone,
   Just letting all of you know that I added the editor that Yuzo and I 
have been working on into the project repository, after a few 
modifications over the weekend.    The way it stands now, (after trying 
both SAX and DOM) is as a DOM tree IMR.  Given some of the issues Yuzo 
and I have discussed with the grad students, there will undoubtedly be 
modifications to this implementation, as the IMR is not a graph yet, and 
we are still researching Java Data Bindings.
   I am also attaching a compressed "GXL Plug-in Test" folder which you 
can unzip and install into your Eclipse runtime-workspace folder.  This 
zipped folder contains a valid GXL schema file, and an instance file, 
called metro.gxl and rail.gxl respectively.  When you launch the 
workbench and open one of the files, you should see the outline view of  
the active file as a hierarchical tree.
   Additionally, I have included the GXL Validator into the repository, 
which you can use to validate any .gxl file through the editors console 
view.  You will need to run the validator as an external tool and link 
it through the External Tools dialog of the run time instance.
   I purchased the latest O'Reilly book "Java & XML Data Bindings" but 
have not had a chance to go over it yet.  If you want to read up on the 
topic without buying the book, you can either sign on to Safari 
Bookshelf (if you have a subscription) or log onto the Safari Bookshelf  
at   http://safari.oreilly.com/JVXSL.asp  (from campus as they have a 
subscription).
