    The following known issues:
    * the drop event will paste the JSON format and not the YAML. The current 
text is:
    
    is:
    ```javascript
    services: [{ type: 
org.apache.brooklyn.entity.brooklynnode.BrooklynEntityMirror }]
    ```
    should be:
    ```yaml
    - type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.brooklynnode.BrooklynEntityMirror
    ```
    or even:
    ```yaml
    services:
    - type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.brooklynnode.BrooklynEntityMirror
    ```
    
    To make the drop event context dependent (exists or not the *services:*), 
then, a javascript yaml (blueprint) parser should be created (like [1]). It 
should understand CAMP syntax.

> Applications in Brooklyn are built via composing services. As services are 
> available in the catalog, yaml could be constructed much faster if a 
> drag'n'drop feature would be available allowing a user to select and drop the 
> required entities. Further editing of the yaml would still be necessary, but 
> such a feature would also provide basic guidance to the user.
