XML-VEG

XML-VEG stands for XML Visual Editor Generator. Many a times there is a requirement to enable XML editing.
The nature of XMLs is such that normal editors are not that efficient to edit them comfortably and consistently.
XML-VEG provides a wizard based tool which will generate a visual editor based on Netbeans XML multiview API.
The tool also provides various customization during the visual editor generation to tune the visual.

Notes from discussion between Geertjan and Toni at JavaOne:
-- many xml files have graph-like structures, for a web flow, work flow, dependencies, not easy to capture in XML, need something visual
-- different styles for visualizing xml file, create wizards for book-like structure, graph-like structure
-- on completion, have complete working module, with code comments
-- need to investigate whether we can reuse the New File Type wizard
-- probably will need to extend the existing apisuppot module somehow
-- end product is netbeans module
