Hi Chistian

It's a begninning, each project have a start point.

I think you can speed up you page loading with libxml.... (more simple for you 
to parse)

Youn need error managment on no connection

why not use the grid view on properties ?

I don't know if manage the tool properties by (plain/text) is a good idea. 
It's slow isn't it (push command to ide) ?  (nevertheless i see, you can 
manage by this way all command you want just by adding a parser new key and a 
button)

so...

i'm going to read this with interest..
