[izpack-users] Debugging Panel

[Miraodb]

Hey,

Better think twice before posting ;) ahahahhaha
Just kidding !
Just tried this panel and it's real cool.

If you can write up a small doc (should be real small from what i can
imagine...) and then i can commit that if nobody is against it. I'll of
course update the docu.

Cheers,
fabrice
