[shale] extending clay

[Ryan Wynn <bi...@gmail.com>]

I'm writing an eclipse plugin to create a visual builder for clay
components.  What I would like to do is extend the ClayXmlParser to
add a rule that will capture the description from the xml and set in
into the ComponentBean.  The reason I want to be able to do this is to
display the description of each component in the visual builder.

Currently, the ClayXmlParser's configureRules method is protected
which is a simple hook for me. However, the digester instance is
private and there are no public/protected accessors.

I have had to work around the use of private instance variables in a
couple other scenarios in trying to build this plugin.  I was just
wondering if anyone was opposed to changing some of these instance
variables to protected or adding protected accessors.

Thanks,
Ryan
