Com.sap.km.EntryPoints

Question

Hi,
Did any one tried to open the com.sap.km.EntryPoints.ept file deployed in to the Portal when KM is INstalled.
Actually we need to design the Iview looks like similar of com.sap.km.EntryPoints iview.
When i searched for the same in the deployment folder i found the .ept file.
For generating such kind of Iview do we need to use any seperate tool other than Netweaver Developer Studio or is there any other way.
Please Suggest.
Thanks & Regards
Sumanth

As far as I know, entry points point to KM resources. Not sure about pointing to a particular page or iView... It's possible to write custom providers with Java but I don't have any experience on the subject.
There is also a distinction between "real" entry points, which are actually used with an Entry points repository manager, and entry points layout set, which can be applied to an iView, folder, etc. The layout only changes how folders and resources are displayed.
