toolbar
MODULE
MODULE SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
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.
