Subject: [Ebxmlrr-tech] New Registry Browser with major improvements

The ebxmlrr team is pleased to announce that we have a new version of 
our Registry Browser. This versions has significant improvements.

If you are new to ebxmlrr (and not based of latest CVS bits), you can 
access the new Registry Browser via Java WebStart.
This is one of the best ways to get familiar with the registry 
functionality since you need to install very little.

Instructions are for Java WebStart based access are at:

http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/registryBrowserGuide/registryBrowserGuide.html

The above instructions are a bit dated but will get you started. We will 
improve the docs for the upcoming beta release.

Note that the first time you run the browser it will take long as it 
will install all the bits locally. Subsequent times it will be faster as 
it will use the local bits. If the server has any updated jars it will 
only incrementally download the updated jars.

The new features of the browser include but are not limited to:

-Support for publishing RegistryObjects and Repository Items to the registry
    -Save popup menu (using right click) item in RegistryObjects panel 
(right side of discovery panel) that are found as a result of as query
    -Save menu now working from Graph panel (accessible using Browse 
popup menu in RegistryObjects panel)

-Support for editing RegistryObjects (this was the bulk of the improvements)
    -Popup menu on all Collection attributes (e.g. Classifications) to 
Edit, Insert or Remove an element in Collection
    -Updated all editors for RegistryObjects to better allow editing of 
those objects. Only one left are (Service, ServiceBinding, 
SpecificationLink)

-Usability improvements
    -Now allows multiple selections in RegistryObjects panel and ability 
to perform actions (e.g. Save, Remove) on multiple objects at one time.
 
-Added an Authenticate button in toolbar (third from left with Key 
icon). You can use this to setCredentials on the underlying JAXR 
connection. you can use this to switch identities.  


To Do
-------

-Fit and finish issues
    -Show busy cursor in all time consuming operations

-Bug fixes
    -ExternalLink not persisting on Organizations
    -ClassificationScheme sometimes disappears on Classification and 
ExternalIdentifier on RegistryObjects
    -Need Remove in graph panel to really remove from registry
    -Graph Panel does not allow saving multiple selected objects
    -Organization editing ending up with phones list duplicated.
    -Graph panel improvements in associating objects

-Need to improve the User Registration wizard (right most icon in 
toolbar) and take the pain out of user registration
    -Need to fix User Registration wizard to allow import of Digital 
Certificate as first step

Please share your feedback on the list.
