Toolbar makes it easier to use the different Erlang tools - and the user contributions - which are provided. It has a graphical user interface with an icon for each tool. Clicking the icon activates the corresponding tool.
All tools to be included on Toolbar must
have a configuration file containing information about the tool,
for example its start function and help information location.
Configuration files must have the .tool suffix.
When started, Toolbar automatically checks for *.tool
files in the current path and adds the corresponding tools. For
each ebin directory found in the path, it will also look
in a priv directory next to it. This is a feature of the Erlang
file structure.
