Extending matisse palette programmatically

I asked this questions before, but it got lost in the long list of responces.

I would like to write my own plugin to extend the Matisse Palette with my own javabeans. I understand that you are currently working on doing this via the GUI, but any plans on exposing this functionality via the plugin.xml file?

I’m able to add javabeans to VE (Visual Editor) with:
Code:
<extension point=”org.eclipse.ve.java.core.contributors”>
<palette container=”MY_CONTAINER”
categories=”palette/xttvisualbeanscats.xmi” loc=”last”>
</palette>
</extension>

and the xttvisualbeanscats.xmi file that defines the javabeans. I’m really looking to run away from VE as fast as I can 🙂 But will you be able to provide some similar extenation APIs?

Thanks
