Re: [Adobe-source-devel] List View / Tree View with ASL

APL is a place to vet libraries for ASL.

All the widget code is in APL. APL depends on ASL but ASL has no dependencies on APL.

ASL is loosly everything needed for the property model and layout libraries and a small number of other items that where finished or nearly so. APL is everything else - though the bulk of it is the platform widget library (hence the name). The plan has been to focus on completing ASL (good docs, test cases, tutorials). If items in APL get completed we'll roll them into ASL - and we may still kick a library or two back to APL in the nterest of making ASL a completed body of work.

So they must share source code between each other. I'm assuming ASL has a dependency on some of APL's source code for this reason.
