EDIT

From P.Kelbert,

Everybody know that the users don't like the configuration interface in

the Editor for importing data, as the option displayed are not clear at

all ("isdoreusetaxa" etc etc).

For the ABCD Import, I made some changes (for the moment locally), by:

1) renaming the configuration options (more explicit)

2) doing a small add in the GenericConfiguratorWizardPage (package

eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor.io.wizard), line 143.

  private void createCheckbox(Composite parent, Method method,

             final IIoConfigurator configurator) {


         final String methodName = method.getName();

         final Button checkBox = new Button(parent, SWT.CHECK);



if(configurator.getClass().equals(Abcd206ImportConfigurator.class)){

             String[[] r =|methodName.split("set")r1].split("(?=\\p{Upper})");

             checkBox.setText(getLabel(StringUtils.join(r," ")));

         }

         else{

             checkBox.setText(getLabel(methodName));

         }

         // retrieve the default values and set the checkbox accordingly

         boolean defaultSelection = 

executeBooleanGetMethod(configurator, "is"

                 + methodName.substring(3));

         checkBox.setSelection(defaultSelection);

         checkBox.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {


             /*

* (non-Javadoc)

              *

* @see

* 

org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionAdapter#widgetSelected(org.eclipse

* .swt.events.SelectionEvent)

              */

 @Override

 public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {

 executeBooleanSetMethod(configurator, methodName,

 checkBox.getSelection());

 }


         });


     }

In attachment, you will see the "before" and "after" pictures.

It still not the best solution, but I think it's really better than the

old display. What do you think? Could we include it for the next

release, at least for the ABCD import?

You may notice the "Interact with user" option. When it's set to True,

some pop-up are displayed when the user should take a decision, for

example for selecting an existing NamedArea when several match, entering

his own Reference Name or Classification name etc.

Any objection to add this ABCD Improvement in the next release?
