[SoC] SOC: New IDEs

Wed Mar 21 08:36:35 UTC 2007

Hi Juraj,

what do you mean when you say that "System Browser will have full
support of Traits"? What are the features you propose? Did you have a
look at DynamicProtocols and TraitOmniBrowser. I think there is a lot
of work that can be done in this area but you are not clear about it.

Bye
