The Squeak port of the StarBrowser has been considerably improved, and 
is now ready for day-to-day use (that is: I'm using it myself).

It is registered on SqueakMap, and can also be found using the 
SqueakMap web interface at: 
http://map2.squeakfoundation.org/sm/package/9187f67b-a437-4e52-93f9-eecb9b48df78

It now also includes a basic SqueakMap browser/loader and a DVS UI.

Try the window frame menu and the context menus on individual items, 
the toolbar buttons, and drag/drop to/from other browsers and within 
or between StarBrowsers.

It's not complete yet; I've noted some of the missing parts are in the 
install/changes.txt entry in the SAR. Most notably, don't bother 
trying to use the history arrows (<- and -> buttons), as they may 
confuse the browser. However, the left-most button (hide/show tree) 
works fine.

This is the third version of the port of the StarBrowser from 
VisualWorks to Squeak.
Most of the functionality works (the classifications model
and an inspector and class editor, and lots of other features.)
Drag and drop work (with thanks to Ned for the help).

Ned re-factored the menu handling and button handling into
more service classes, and added DVS, Morphic, and SqueakMap
support as examples of extension.

The goal of the Star Browser is to allow you to browse your Smalltalk 
environment and classify anything you encounter while doing so. 
Therefore it has full drag&drop support to allow you to classify 
software elements such as classes and methods while you are browsing.

It is easily extended to handle browsing most anything in the Squeak
environment.

I'm interested in hearing any bug reports, and will gladly consider 
extensions.

Enjoy!
