Hi Dev group,

I'm very new to OFBiz, so I may be covering old ground. If not, I'd like to
propose a debug mode for the UI of OFBiz along the lines of that in OLAT.

If you've never seen it, take a look at:

http://demo.olat.org/demo/dmz/

 - click the word "System Administrator" in the dropdown to fill in the
username/password form. 
 
 - once you are logged in as "System Administrator" click the tiny green bug
icon in the upper left corner of the page to turn on debug mode.
 
 - click the word "Debug" in the panel that appears.
 
 - move your mouse around the rest of the screen to see the templates and
controllers associated with the various parts of the view.

I find that with this debug mode available I can be productive modifying the
front end of OLAT right away, whereas after a few weeks of looking at OFBiz
I still struggle to find/remember where things are located.

I'd be willing to work on this, but really at this point I'm just wondering
if others think it's a useful (and feasible) feature, and/or if something
similar already exists that I just missed.

Brian
