Class Labels & Window Wrangling

Learned some new tricks with TopBraid Composer and Eclipse.

When you create a new class or subclass in TBC, at the bottom of the wizard window there will be rdfs:label under the "Property" column and an empty cell in the "Initial Value" column. Check the rdfs:label checkbox and in the "Initial Value" column put {name}. This sets the default value for future class creations as well. {name} will automagically copy the class name into the rdfs:label field after you click "Ok".

Somehow I managed to make my "Classes" window a tab of my "Navigator" window, and also managed to make my "Basket" window pane a tab within the pane to its left. Restoring the tab into a separate window pane is not intuitive. The way to do it is to hold down your left mouse button and drag the window to the edge of eclipse (left-right, or top-bottom) until a black arrow head appears. When this arrow head appears, you can release the mouse button and the window is returned as either a vertical split or horizontal split depending on where you dragged the window to. This also works in other places where you see tabs, such as for source files. Move a source tab in the same way and vertically split the pane, then seeing both windows side by side.
