Subject: [squeak-dev] Trunk now Toolbuilderized ;-) Reply-To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <squeak-dev@lists.squeakfoundation.org
Folks -
Just as an FYI, I did a serious pass on toolbuildering (or would that be toolbuilderizing? ;-) the Tools package in the trunk. In the process I've removed some tons of stuff from the Tools package referencing half of MVC and Morphic and replaced them with using ToolBuilder specs consistently.
Since that was a sizable change there is a chance for some fallout and I'd appreciate feedback if you find something that got broken in the process. One difference I'm aware about is that I (temporarily) removed the "always visible comment pane" in the browser. I just haven't figured out how to deal with it using ToolBuilder - if anyone has an idea I'm all ears. Everything else should work, including Inspector, Debugger, PackagePaneBrowser, etc.
The good news is that this is both, progress towards unloading MVC as well as making some tools available to MVC which previously were either not at all or only partially available. So all in all, I consider it a good trade.
Cheers, - Andreas
