Hi there,
we're working on a new project that intends to have a GEF-based editor
in an Eclipse RCP application. I have no problems with the RCP part,
but am brand new to the GEF part. Will GEF work straight in an RCP
application or are there further dependencies on the Eclipse Workbench?
What would be the best way to start a basic "Hello World" example?
Basically, I would like to start with an empty RCP application with one
View containing a very basic canvas and palette, and take it from there.
Any pointers much appreciated!

I meant "...or are there further dependencies on the IDE?"

Hi,
You also may decide to throw a look at eclipse's integrated help about GEF.
There is a topic for GEF "Programmer's Guide" that will give you a general
idea about how GEF works. It was helpful for me. Later you may try to
explore some of the GEF examples e.g. the shapes editor.
