A4E & domain-specific property view

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In cases where we have a mapping between atoms & tuples in A4 and 
corresponding elements.relations in the UML,
it would be nice to select something in the A4 viz view and have that
selection show up in the UML property viewer.

I am unsure how easy it is to hook a listener to a selection on the vizview.

I guess Felix need to comment on this.

We already have a mechanism to provide user-invoked callbacks (e.g., mouse)
that we have used here:

fr.univartois.cril.alloyplugin.editor.MultiPageEditor.addPage(String, URL)

We are missing public access to two things:

1) the "legend" information from A4's VizGraph:

edu.mit.csail.sdg.alloy4graph.VizGraph.legends

Note: I think its definition could be made more precise from:

 private final SortedMap<Comparable<?>,Pair<String,Color>> legends = new
TreeMap<Comparable<?>,Pair<String,Color>>();

to this:

 private final SortedMap<Comparable<? extends AlloyElement>,Pair<String,Color>>
legends = new TreeMap<Comparable<? extends AlloyElement>,Pair<String,Color>>();

2) Public access to A4'z VizGraph from the VizViewer which we have access to in 
the
action listener callback.
