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.
