Hi,
We have developed a GEF based model editor and a web based viewer for
the model data that the editor creates (an XML file).
The viewer has to be able to render the model from XML, so a saved
static image from the editor is not sufficient.
The problem is all the labor to keep the editor and viewer code
compatible - they share only the business model classes.
Would it be possible to deploy the parts of the editor that renders the
model diagram into a web application? It could render the model into an
off-screen image to return to the web browser.
Has anyone tried this? GEF code imports many classes from SWT, JFace
etc, but are they used all the time?
How could we approach the problem? Who has the knowledge to outline a
possible solution?
Regards,
Dag

Dag,
I wonder if GEF works with RAP? http://www.eclipse.org/rap/

I had the same question, but the docs says it doesn't. But RAP is
interesting in that it can deploy an eclipse plug-in structure in a web app.
