TODO List:
- * Cleanup build.xml file; make antidote specific.
- * Rewrite ACSFactory to use it's own parser rather than the
implementation
- specific com.sun.xml.tree.SimpleElementFactory class (only available
- in JAXP from Sun).
+ * Improve editors for defining file sets, and other "sets".
- * Add editors for defining file sets, and other "sets".
+ * Begin to use wizard framework to develop useful wizards, such
+ as target creation.
- * Write wizzard framework.
-
- * Implement a build progress reporter.
+ * Implement a build progress reporter beyond the console
+ itself to write a log to a file in addition. Obviously
+ the log line formtting has to be definable interactively
+ and stored in preferences.
* Implement a "Worker Thread" pattern that allows workers to have
their work done in a thread property registered with Antidote, and

+ nice to be able to show a graphic with all the targets and

+
+ * Add better editors for specific tasks. Not only for tasks, but
+ properties in addition. We mean editors just like the dependency
+ chooser.
* Add a Progress Monitor for file loading (especially for slow boxen like
mine) .
* Implement some for of refid hyperlinking functionality.
+ DOWNGRADED: We think integration into IDEs is no BIG project aim
+ anymore or at least at the moment.
* Implement context sensitive menus for the console window, allowing
an error to be selected and invoked in IDE.
* Write preferences framwork, including persistence support.
