Figure 3 HTML content of "Class details" panel
User can operate with two Class details panels. One (on left side) is permanent and represents the currently selected node of the Tree View; the other one is optional and may present another class used to compare the metadata of the two. The main panel has a tool bar with "Open in Class B panel". This operation is the same as the corresponding context menu item in the "Tree view" panel. That is, the main "Class details" panel is opened in an additional panel. "Open in Class B panel" command opens the RDL class in the same panel if it was opened before.
