WorkspaceLightTree

The Workspace Light Tree widget offers to the developers a "File Chooser" like GWT component to access the user's Workspace information. Like a File Chooser let choose a File the WorkspaceLightTree let the user select a WorkspaceItem.

Available Panels

The main panel is the WorkspaceLightTreePanel which shows the user Workspace tree where the user can select the WorkspaceItem. The developer can set which types of items are selectable and which are showable. All events are propagated through the GWT handling system. All the background login (contacting the HomeLibrary, loading the Workspace, converting the items) is hidden to the developer.
