AUI is a good choice I use it for my editor.

We will also need progrid and later wxScintilla:


   - wxScintilla - http://www.scintilla.org/
   - progrid - http://wxpropgrid.sourceforge.net/



Btw don't forget to note the version of the libraries you are using.

We should create a "Building from Source" page something like this:

If I am not mistaken you can't with a wxToolBar add a string next to the
icon which makes it less clear for beginners.

Perhaps a vertical *wxMenu* would better suits our need. If not then a
simple *wxListView* should do the trick.

About the StarUML tool bar there is one point I don't like: I am constantly
switching between the "Annotation" and "Class" sub-panel which oblige me to
go up and down the toolbar.

Any idea how we could avoid this? Use tabs instead?

Putting all in one bar would make it too big and oblige to scroll. Which is
not really better (except if we list the tools by usage frequency).
