BeanAuthor is a component
based editing framework for software visualization and application development.
It is a JavaBeans based toolkit to be developed for prototyping and experimenting
with visual programming interfaces, GUI builders, beanboxes etc. Bottom
layer is given by the conventional vector graphics drawing metaphor; other
layers build on top of it via grouping and assigning high level functions
to graphical elements.Initial plan is to prototype minimal BeanAuthor based
on design elements in UCI GEF and JavaSoft BeanBox, and test it as a new
frontend for WebFlow 0.1.
