etoolbox-authoring-kit

Updates in AEM Authoring Toolkit API and Maven plugin

New features:

• @ChildEditConfig to set up cq:childEditConfig node of your component;
• New widget-defining annotations: @Button and @Heading;
• Ability to set up arbitrary @DataSource for radio groups and drop-down lists;
• @IgnoreField annotation that helps to reuse more flexibly pre-exising code structures (use a foreign @FieldSet but alter or skip a couple of fields from it);
• Ability to redirect value stored by a widget to a ./sub/node (bi-directional) or a ../parent/node (write-only) thus changing the @DialogField.name();
• Same for fieldsets' prefixes;
• Usage of @Property/@CommonProperty as multiple annotations.

Updates and fixes:

• Fixed and optimized rendering of @ColorPicker, @Select, @RichTextEditor;
• Fixed Maven plugin crash when a non-existent tab label set in @PlaceOnTab annotation;
• More verbose user warnings;
• Several performance tweaks.
