Undo/Redo support for non EMF based domain objects [message #565897]

It seems that if my domain objects are not EMF based, then we don't get the undo/redo support (whether it's a move feature or add feature). After some digging, I noticed that Graphiti uses GFCommandStack class which seems to replace GEF's command stack with emf's command stack.

How do I get undo/redo support if my domain objects are not EMF based? Thank you for your suggestions!

Yes, you are right. The advantage of doing it that way is that we can
completely handle undo/redo on EMF level by simply using the
RecordingCommand of EMF.

Also in a scenario with non-EMF domain objects, the part concerning the
graphical objects are handled automatically by Graphiti. Only the undo/redo
of the non-EMF domain object changes need to be implemented by you. In order
to do that you can use a GEF CommandStackEventListener that you register at
the CommandStack by
getEditDomain().getCommandStack().addCommandStackEventListen er(listener)
after the initiallization (e.g. by overriding setInput in DiagramEditor and
after calling super.setInput). There you can react to events POST_REDO and
POST_UNDO.

Hope that helps.
