Chapter 4. Compact Node Definition (CND) Editor


4.1. Compact Node Definition (CND) Editor

The ModeShape Tools Java Content Repository (JCR) Compact Node Type Definition (CND) Editor is a 2-page editor for *.cnd files. The first page is a form-based view of the CND file and the second page is a read-only source view.

Note

The CND Editor can be used to edit CND files for any JCR 2.0 implementation and is not limited to ModeShape users. It even can be installed separately from the ModeShape-specific features.
The CND Editor's form page consists of the following sections:
  • a header section, which displays error messages and a link to open the CND preference page,
  • a namespaces section, which displays and allows editing of the namespace mappings defined in the CND, and
  • a node types section, which displays and allows editing of the node type definitions defined in the CND.
