NAME
toolbar - GUI for Starting Tools and User Contributions
DESCRIPTION
Warning: The Toolbar application is deprecated and will be removed in R16. Toolbar makes it easier to use the different Erlang tools - and the user contributions - which are provided. It has a graphical user interface with an icon for each tool. Clicking the icon activates the corresponding tool. All tools to be included on Toolbar must have a configuration file containing information about the tool, for example its start function and help information location. Configuration files must have the .tool suffix. When started, Toolbar automatically checks for *.tool files in the current path and adds the corresponding tools. For each ebin directory found in the path, it will also look in a priv directory next to it. This is a feature of the Erlang file structure.
