renders the new layout:
 Editor and detail from Customer (improved)

Remark:
File CustomerDIGENERATED.axml is copied as file CustomerDI.axml and File CustomerEDITORGENERATED.axml is copied as file CustomerEDITOR.axml. So that, if a generation process occurs, changes will not be affected.
Change completely layouts is made easy.
