Hi ben
we could update the configurationOfXMLReader.
But the right solution is to define a new configuration loading
GT-Tools, XMLReader and your extensions.
In pharo 40 we could consider that GT-Tools is loaded.
Now I think that making the dependencies explicit is important.
So what do you think of...
* Updating ConfigurationOfXMLParser to automatically load the
extensions for Pharo4.
* Moving the package into the XML-Parser repository so it sits next to
other compatibility packages like XML-Parser-GemstoneCompatability --
and possibly renaming it something like XML-Parser-GT-Extensions.
The package I maintain with monty is in PharoExtras so I would prefer
not to change its location.

I would prefer to qualify the extensions by the tool they refer
to: GT-InspectorExtensions-*, GT-SpotterExtensions-* etc.
gtDisplayOn: should be more in the inspector, but probably some
were added mostly in the spotter so they ended up in the less
optimal package.
okay. good to understand.

I happened to need to use and XML Parser for the first time

GTInspector extensions to XML-Parser. This is uploaded as

<http://smalltalkhub.com/#%21/%7EPharoExtras/XMLParser>. Could
someone who uses XML regularly check if these are reasonable?
Now should these methods be packaged separately somehow, since
they are likely not of interest to other Smalltalk flavours?
btw I gave them a protocol of "GT-Extensions" - but I also
considered "moldable-tools" and "tools-extensions". If there
a preference? This will likely be a common occurrence across
the community, so we should try for a consistent convention
across the community for such extensions.
btw2, I notice that #gtDisplayOn: implementors are fairly
evenly split between [GT-InspectorExtensions-Core] and
[GT-SpotterExtensions-Core]. Are they really separated like
this in their use?
