TwitNotes - example of multiple submit area providers
As mentioned in the documentation TwitNotes is extensible using extension points. One of the extensions make it possible to contribute so called submit area providers that is functionality that can submit information. The supplied Twitter submit area provider is one example but if you add another the UI is simply augmented with a tabbed folder as shown below where there's two providers present.

TwitNotes v. 1.0.1 available
TwitNotes v. 1.0.1 is now available from the update site. This release solves the following issues:
- Text not wrapping on Windows XP (solved using custom PaintListener). An unfortunate side effect is that long posts with long words are being truncated - I'm working on a solution to this.
- Image disappearing when selecting a row (solved by widening the image column as described here)
- XML entities not being correctly unescaped that is posts show & etc. (solved using Apache Commons Lang StringEscapeUtils.unescapeXml(String))
Comments welcome to this post.
