Hi everyone.
I have tried using GMF a number of times but never managed to do so. The
most problematic aspect I found was that the model transformation are in
only one direction, so when I had my model wrong things just could not
evolve... And also the code generated by GMF was simply unreadable.
But still, GMF has very nice graphic properties that are missing from GEF
and I was wondering if there is ANY way to work with GMF like it is done
in GEF (only programming with no models/transformations/etc - except
obviously for the EMF model which is a must).
Thanks
Vainolo

Without details, I can't help you, but there is probably something
helpful in the wiki.
