Norm, Actually there are editors (just a sub part of the Eclipse IDE) that does graphical layout of buttons etc for Java classes. The Editor allows you to graphically create the Java source code and back and forth too.
So the idea that it could be used to present the user with an "active link window" that talk to the ARS server instead of making a *.java file seems like a very "normal" thing for the IDE to do to me. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
