Is it possible to define new tooltypes?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What if i wanted to enable tools to be run in maya also.
Is there a way to add tooltypes for apps that are not in the list so far?

For sure - its not easily dont via a plugin structure or anything at the 
moment, you'd have to modify some of the base code, but it'd work.

The ToolType enum is defined in: blurdev/tools/tool.py
The MayaCore class would be defined in: blurdev/cores/mayacore.py

Similarly to how the softimage and max core's have been defined within the same 
folder.

You can modify that as needed.  I'd recommend creating a separate build 
structure with the base code, and then a folder structure mimicking ours for 
any overwrites you do, so it doesn't clash for future updates or anything.

We'll be rolling out a pretty big update to the IDE relatively soon as we've 
got a lot more features and some better plugin/addon structure defined for it 
now.
