Description Adam Sotona 2003-05-29 09:48:19 UTC 
Current undocumented implementation expects to
create and register special look just for
WizardIterator type returned from
PlatformInstall.createIterator(...) and uses
getDisplayName() of the look.
This way represents lot of additional work,
special classes and mf-layer registration just to
say "I am J2SE Platform".
I think that method String
getPlatformName(FileObject baseFolder) would be
usefull.

Seems good for me.
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2003-07-09 17:41:28 UTC 
Adding the presentation layer into the SPI is not good idea,
there should be also requirement for obtaining the icon or description.
The usage of look is much more extensible and clean for that purpose.
The look is a view and the PlatformInstall is the model.

I agree that registering the Look on WizardIterator is not very good
and I have changed it to PlatformInstall.
