[izpack-devel] IzPanel Layout

[Miraodb]

Hi Klaus,

If you overwrite current ones, would install files created based on the
current version would have to be changed ?
If not i suggest that we don't duplicate the base panels and update the
current ones rather than adding a whole bunch of new ones.

My opinion... Up to others to express  theirs..

Cheers,
Fabrice
