Hi,
I've used you editor and I like very much, if we can port it to work
well with OpenFlow we don't need Java applets or other things like that.
At the moment I'm involved on the CMF porting of OpenFlow, I'm preparing
a UML model, do you think it could be the right starting point to plan a
porting of your editor ?
