XBaya usability improvements - Clearing execution messages for new executions

[Saminda Wijeratne <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I did a few small usability improvements to XBaya in trunk. One of them is
clearing the previous messages received (when a workflow was executed)
before executing a new workflow. I did this in-order to avoid the monitor
panel filled with messages of several workflow executions. (A better fix to
have later is to allow selecting the execution in the monitoring panel to
view the messages belonging to that workflow)

If anyone thinks this would hinder the usage of the monitoring panel in
XBaya please feel free to mention it and I can revert this change easily.

Regards,
Saminda

A few more usability updates to XBaya:


   - Double click on a input/output port of a node in the workflow graph
   will add an input/output node automatically to the graph and connect it to
   that port.
   - Removed the workflow interpreter url and gfac url fields from the
   "Workflow Launch" dialog (since it doesn't make sense to show them anymore)
   and moved the "Experiment name" field to the top.

Hi Saminda,

I think this is reasonable change. For longer term fix, I think for previously run workflows, XBaya should pull notifications from a registry like persistent store and replay the state of workflow execution.
