The new Content apps come with some "tools" allowing to adapt the current content app, such as:

• The extension view
• The view switcher
• and others.

The task is to provide a page object - the Toolbox - exposing the buttons and other UI elements which are displayed above the grid of the content app browser.

Use cases

• jcr-browser app
  • choose workspace
  • toggle (hide/show) sys-properties
• various content apps
  • view switcher: switch to tree, list, thumbnail view

Proposed API

ToolBox access:

ContentApp should provide access to the toolbox.

"Generic" stuff

• Buttons
  • #clickButton(MagnoliaIcons icon)
• Combobox
  • #getComboBoxValue(String label) 
  • #setComboBoxValue(String label, String value) 
• Checkbox - check/uncheck
  • #check(String label) 
  • #uncheck(String label)

On all the above methods the API should allow to pass null for the label - in that case selecting the 1st one - or the only one.

Specific stuff

• Toggle details - show/hide details.
  • #showExtensionViewDetails
  • #hideExtensionViewDetails

=> see  

• switch view
  • #setViewType(type)

Not fully sure whether we want the specific stuff. These are convenience methods.
But at least the view switcher seems very reasonable.
