Provide mapping capability with XML Editor for YADE settings files (.ini format)

Feature

• The XML Editor should create valid YADE settings files (.ini format) from JADE XML configuration files.
• This development is specific for YADE and should be provided with a separate .dll file. If the .dll file is available then the functionality is offered by the editor GUI with the menu item "Export to classic YADE settings":
  • A file dialog is opened that allows to specify the output file (.ini format)
  • The XML Editor converts XML settings to .ini settings

Mapping

• Create "classic" name/value pairs for YADE parameters.
• Manage prefixes for source, target, jump host, alternative processing
• Manage .ini sections:
  • Create sections for the source and target fragments
  • Create sections for the profiles - distinguished by profile_id - that includes the source and target fragment.
• Stick to naming conventions
  • Fragment section: [Fragment @name]
  • Profile section: [Profile @profile_id]

Maintainer Notes

• This functionality cannot map 100% of the XML configuration to .ini files:
  • The XML format is capable of more intrinsic configurations that cannot be mapped.
• The XML Editor is designed to provide a good 80% solution for the mapping.
• Please note that the opposite mapping, i.e. from .ini format to XML configuration, is subject to future development of a converter tool.
