GEF as metamodel viewer [message #242380] Mon, 14 April 2008 12:25 Go to next message

Hello
I am very new to GEF. I am working on a application which stores activity
diagrams in our own designed metamodel. I want to make a viewer which can
display and edit the model stored in our metamodel in a a directed
graphical form(with nodes and edges only). Can anyone suggest me how can
the stored model be displayed using GEF properties.
Thnx
Hem

Hem,

Have you looked at GMF yet?

http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/gmf/

The UML Tools project has activity diagram support so that's likely to
be a good example:

Thnx Ed,
I also thought for the same first but the problem is that i am using my
own metamodel for the storage of that activity diagram. I want to make the
viewer of the model when it is stored in my own metamodel but not in the
uml2 metamodel.
Also, I want to view it with very minimal information like just in a form
of directed graph with only nodes and edges because i have designed my
metamodel based on node and edges only.
Do you still suggest i should use GMF and not GEF?
Thnx
Hem

Hem,

Well, GMF uses GEF, and things like EMF support generating a model you
can persist as XML and them GMF lets you build a GUI around it. That's
how the UML activity diagram was developed so you're effectively solving
the same problem, although, as you say, with a different "model" as the
basis...

You may want to take a look at Zest (http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/zest.php).
