The Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) provides technology to create rich graphical editors and views for the Eclipse Workbench UI. It bundles three components:

• Draw2d (org.eclipse.draw2d) - A layout and rendering toolkit for displaying graphics on an SWT Canvas.
• GEF (MVC) (org.eclipse.gef) - An interactive model-view-controler (MVC) framework, which fosters the implementation of SWT-based tree and Draw2d-based graphical editors for the Eclipse Workbench UI.
• Zest (org.eclipse.zest) - A visualization toolkit based on Draw2d, which enables implementation of graphical views for the Eclipse Workbench UI.
