• Outline view that reuses the SCA icons

Also: Auto-completion for attribute values

• Promotes attributes, wires sources and targets...

• Takes into account composite inclusions
• Edition of componentType files
• Preference page to define additional bindings, implementations and interfaces

SCA Composite Designer

• Can be extended (Tuscany and Frascati artifacts supported)

SCA Tools 2.0.0 M5 (12 February 2009)

SCA Tools 2.0.0 M6 (19 March 2009)

• The JBI binding was updated.
• The label on a service and a reference was removed.

• The SCA builder now adds error markers in diagrams. It also validates all the Java parts (interafaces and implementations): check they are in the class path, that wires and promotes link compatible Java interfaces, that Java component implementations implement all the Java interfaces of the component services.
