Hello!

Is there a common practice to change the look of the properties view? (like in the second picture)
This tutorial is outdated and I wonder if there is any other workflow / best practice to achieve it?

Currently I only have the table layout within tabs.

Hi,

you can use the extension points provided by eclipse to get another properties view tab with whatever you like. All you need to do is to define an own propertyTab and propertySection. GMF generates a bit of source code which you can find in your generated xxx.diagram.sheet package. A tutorial on property sheets can be found here http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Tabbed-Properties/tabbed_properties_view.html
