 <h1>Implementation Page</h1>
 	<p>
 		The implementation page defines the pattern implemented behavior.<br/>
 		The implementation is splitted into two concepts :<br/>
 		<ul>
 			<li>The definition of reusable behaviors, named the <a href="#internalMethods"><b>internal methods</b></a>.</li>
 			<li>The orchestration of the usage of the available behaviors, named the <a href="#generateMethod"><b>generate method</b></a>.</li>
 		</ul>

 			<a name="internalMethods">
 				<h2>The Pattern internal methods section</h2>
 			</a>
 			<p>
 				This is a collection of defined internal methods (behaviors).<br/>
 				<p>
 					A new method can be added by clicking the <b>Add</b> button. It's having a default name (something like <i>newMethodXXX</i>).<br/>
 				</p>
 				<p>
 					To modify a method, click it's representation on the left collection. A new section named <b>Internal method properties</b> appears on the right.
 					<p align="center">
 						<img src="../images/implementation/InternalMethodProperties.png" alt="Internal method properties"/><br/>
 					</p>
 					The method can be renamed (Name field), its content edited (Content link), and its orchestration modified (Sub-list below).<br/>
 					<ul>
 						<li>
 							The name needs to be unique within edited pattern.<br/>
 							It must be the same as parent method one (whatever level the parent may be), in case of overriding need.
 						</li>
 						<li>
 							Clicking the <b>Content</b> link does open the associated JET editor.<br/>
 							<p align="center">
 								<img src="../images/implementation/InternalMethodContentEdition.png" alt="Editing internal method"/>
 							</p>
 							The editor is displaying the internal method name.<br/>
 							To save changes to the implementation, simply save this editor.
 						</li>
 						<li>
 							The orchestration is having sense in the case of an override only.<br/>
 							See the <a href="#generateMethod">Generate method section</a> as of how to use this list, only calls to Super can be added here.
 						</li>
 					</ul>
 				</p>
 				<p>
 					An existing method can be removed.<br/>
 					Select it on the left collection, and click the <b>Remove</b> button.
 				</p>

 			<a name="generateMethod">
 				<h2>The Generate method section</h2>
 			</a>
 			This method is about orchestrating the inherited or local internal methods.<br/>
 			This is defining the pattern behavior as a whole, and is the only visible entry point from outside the pattern.
 			<p>
 				To invoke a new action (ie behavior), click the <b>Add</b> button.<br/>
 				A new dialog opens.<br/>
 				<p align="center">
 					<img src="../images/implementation/CreateNewAction.png" alt="Create a new action"/>
 				</p>
 				<ul>
 					<li>Select the <b>Internal method call</b> action to invoke one of current pattern internal methods.</li>
 					<li>Select the <b>Call to another pattern</b> action to invoke another pattern, as part of current behavior.</li>
 					<li>Select the <b>Super method call</b> action to either invoke parent orchestration (no parameter) or one of the inherited internal methods (parameter).</li>
 				</ul>
 			</p>
 			<p>
 				You can click an action (left viewer) to see its properties.<br/>
 				A new section (<b>Selected action properties</b>) appears on the right side.<br/>
 				<p align="center">
 					<img src="../images/implementation/GenerateMethodActionProperties.png" alt="Display action properties"/>
 				</p>
 				The action properties can not be modified textually, but using the <b>Browse</b> button instead.
 			</p>
 			<p>
 				To organize the orchestration, select an action on the left viewer, and click the <b>Up</b> or <b>Down</b> buttons as required.
