Creating a Metamoldel serializer for XML

XStream is the kind of project which is so easy and so great, that if somebody try give a presenation about that could be hard spend more than five minutes.
I've used XStream on some new supports for Greebox in order to allow Eclipse Developers use it.
Here I will take a piece of tests of my evaluations:
xml = new XStream();
xml.alias("class",net.java.dev.greenbox.base.Clazz.class);

Ofcouse, I lot of users and customers asked me for an Eclipse Version, and I am trying to do almost the same, but NetBeans and Eclipse are completelly different platforms. Then all work I spend on NetBeans, anybody else...
