Hi,
Can someone tell me if there are any plans to support an xforms designer in
the web tools project?
If there are plans, please point me to any doc that I probably missed.
Cheers,
-Lyndon-

One text editor for XForms could be built while leveraging WTP components:
- a tabbed panel with one tab including the XML editor (or an extension of
it !?), and inside the other tab, a firefox integration for visualization.
- code snippet.
As said above, there are no current plans for XForms support... but of
course this project is open for proposals and contributions.
