Hi.
I'm just now approaching to the Eclipse plugins world.

I would be interested in trying to modify the Shapes example as first step.
I've followed the instructions here: https://github.com/eclipse/gef/blob/master/README.md

The problem is that when I do:
File->New->Project->GEF Plugins->Shapes
I can't create the project, when I press the Finish button this is the log output:

That looks a bit mixed up. The 'shapes' example you are referring to is a GEF-Legacy (3.x) example, to which the org.eclipse.gef.examples.ui.pde wizard belongs. The README however points to the current GEF (4) code base (and does not mention the shapes example).
