Lars, We're pushing on this early so that we can provide the model elements in time for them to get some 'real' use. The expectation is that we would provide the simple skeletons and then review the model based on feedback from people who have *concrete* use cases based on their scenarios. I can only encourage the people asking for this extension to please *use it* and provide feedback...
I expect to see some rather creative mechanisms come up...;-). Once we have
some concrete examples we will be in a much better position to decide what
else is necessary.
Note that if we don't receive any feedback we'll presume that these
elements aren't really necessary right now and remove them...use them or
lose them !
Onwards,
Eric

only one concrete type, namely MPart. In implementing split editors/views,
Eric found that the MPart/MPartSashContainer ambiguity caused some
problems.)

+1, this would help for simple editor input scenarios.

Would be nice to see a prototype how the new model elements would be use. I
assume we would have modelService.show(dialog, modular) or something like
that?_______________________________________________
