[HAPI-devel] message profile editor

[Tripp, B. <Bry...@uh...>]

I'm working on the conformance profile package (ca.uhn.hl7v2.conf).  For
those not familiar with profiles, they are XML expressions of
domain-specific constraints on a message.  They are meant to replace the
paper specs that people use to document their HL7 interfaces.  This is new
in HL7 v2.5.  Sooner or later, HAPI will be able to test messages against
profiles on the fly, and produce profile JARs that let you code directly
against an implementation of (for example) McKesson's specific ADT_A01
profile, rather than HL7's less specific ADT_A01 message spec.  

The profile parser is basically working.  It would be nice to have an editor
as well.  A parsed profile is a tree of JavaBeans with String leaf nodes.
Does anyone know of a good, visual, open-source tool for editing such a
thing?  This isn't critical as there is already a free profile editor out
there (written in Delphi), but it would be nice to have.  

Thanks, 
Bryan
