Regarding the livetable macro for XWiki Syntax 2.0 we really need one, see
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4390
Thanks

Hi,
I've worked on a livetable generator and livetable macro which allows to generate the
livetable configuration directly from the XWiki class.

It would be great if some devs could look at it, as it could be a good candidate for
inclusion in the platform as it would ease creating livetables.
The current problematic parts are:
1/ A hack was made for translations as changes to the livetable macros were necessary to
allow to use the Pretty Names automatically instead of translations
2/ It would be great to not even have to give the fields to use in the LiveTable and use
the information from the class where a checkbox could be added for each field saying
"include in default livetable"
This would be a good step towards full CRUD in XWiki. Now that we have Templates, we
could add a place in the Wiki where all documents can be browser per class (using this
livetable). We would just need a slightly simpler Class Editor which hide the more
difficult configurations from classes.
The more important work is to support Class Sheets that don't need the include macro
to be used for documents that have an object of this class, and a modification of the
inline mode which could disappear.
