Provides a set of utilities and interfaces for defining the
conent and layout of views based on Debugger Services Framework (DSF).
Package Specification
The DSF data model is designed in a way to make it easy to achieve
modularity in the services that collectively make-up its
contents. This design goal makes it difficult to display the data
in a view, because its layout of the data needs to depend on the type
of view. This package is used to make it simpler to take the
contents of a data model and display them in various debug views, using
the platform debug flexible-hierarchy asynchronous debug
views.
Development Plans
This package is also a work in progress and it is missing a major
feature.
This feature is to be able to create a complete view layout using a
simple data specification (XML or other format). Still further, a
feature to build on this, should allow users to modify the view layout
using GUI tools and to apply the modified layout at runtime.
