WOLips: New .woo editor

There are five files assosiated with a WebObjects component (.html, .wod, .woo, .api, and .java). In WOBuilder you could add and configure a WODisplayGroup in your component and it’s configuration would get stored in the .woo file.

The only way to edit the .woo file in WOLips’ component editor was to use a text editor…

Up until now that is. There is a new “Display Group” addition to the Component editor tabs:

Which reveals a Display Group manager window (similar to the API manager). Adding a Display Group gives you a nifty Details editor:

I don’t use component configured WODisplayGroups much, but I know a lot of people do and this is a welcome addition.
