Hi Angelo,

Yes. 

Tried IE 7.0 from a windows xp, but could never see any labels for 
artifacts, features, or targets.  Ouch. 

So I installed another firefox on that windows box, and I could see the 
labels for the elements but like my Firefox on the Ubuntu machine I 
could not associate lower level elements to parents.  ???

Perhaps my server is hosed? What is the best way to clean my webui 
bundle to start the server fresh?

I only guessing what the Retrieve Store and Revert buttons mean,  not so 
sure about the Target Static/Dynamic label. My target is the example one 
and it displays as 'configuredGatewayID - IDLE'.

Looked at ACE-53 and saw your comment on AutoConf.  
If I use the filebased server and add to my target the 
org.apache.felix.deployment.rp.autoconf-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar do you think 
I can drop in an autoconf.xml file in my folder and it will deploy to 
the target??


thanks, John
