Using phantom nodes [message #555919] Mon, 30 August 2010 08:45 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm new to GMF and currently trying display contained nodes not in a compartment. Instead I want to display the nodes as external nodes with links. Thereby I read about phantom nodes, but I'm not able to get them working.

I set up a simplified test project and managed to get rid of the error messages form the gmfmap editor, but now the generated code contains some errors.

Can anyone help me?
The project can be downloaded here: https:// www.fortiss.org/fileadmin/user_upload/_temp_/TestProject.zip

I'm using Eclipse 3.6 with GMF 2.3.

Why isn't it possible to just define that for this kind of nodes the gmf editor has to create a node and a link at the same time and make them belonging to each other all the time?

Best regards,
Gerd

Hi,

since I get no answer on my question. I played around with it.
I tried the example about phantom nodes of EuGENia and the generated code had the same errors as my example (Eclipse 3.6, GMF 1.4.0, GMF SDK 2.3.0). When I tried the EuGENia example on Eclipse 3.5 with GMF 1.3.0 and GMF SDK 2.2.2 it worked.

After making some changes to the generated code of Eclipse 3.6 with GMF 1.4.0 and GMF SDK 2.3.0 the code works there as well.

  • Changed for loop in getXYZSemanticChildren of xxx.diagram.part.XXXDiagramUpdater
  • Uncommented refreshSemantics in xxx.phantom.edit.policies.XYZCanonicalEditPolicy


What's the refreshSemantics method needed for?

Is there a way of using GMF 1.3.0 and GMF SDK 2.2.2 in Eclipse 3.6? I played a round with it but run always into troubles with conflicting different versions of the same plugin.

Best regards,
Gerd
