Abstract :
Thin-client visual design tools can provide a number of advantages over traditional thick-client diagramming tools but are challenging to build. We describe a component-based extension to a thick-client meta-CASE tool that we have been developing that allows any specified diagram editor to be realized as a thin-client tool.
