The interface builder plugins seem to have disappeared.

Rather than replacing them with another plugin model, I suggesting allowing IB to build a custom interface for your class by you supplying methods on it for IB to call.

That would only work if IB can instantiate your objects of course (or some mock version of them)... but I don't think it's impossible to achieve.

If that doesn't work, then being able to annotate your properties in some way would be the next best thing, so that IB can allow you to set them at design-time, in a way that is nicer than the current User Defined Runtime Attributes panel.
