GMF Tooling Issue [message #1864878]

I used to download GMF tooling from this website: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmp/gmf-tooling/updates/releases/.
But from 2 weeks back, this link is throwing 404. Hence I'm unable to install gmf tooling with the help of above link in Eclipse (Help -> Install new software -> site(http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmp/gmf-tooling/updates/releases/).

I tried to download GMF tooling from this link -> https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.gmp.gmf-tooling/releases/3.2.0. But unforunately only release notes are there and project seems to be archived.

I even tried to download the archive project (GMF Tooling) of lower versions from this eclipse.dev page(unable to attach link) but I'm unable to do that as well.

Could you please help in resolving this issue?

GMF Tooling is abandonned, and has been for a while.
The last release is from 2016 (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.gmf-tooling), and the last commit on the git repo is from late 2015.
I have no idea where the corresponding update sites have gone.

Note that this concerns GMF **Tooling**; GMF Runtime itself is still maintained: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.gmf-runtime/

Thanks Pierre. I've also gone through that.
Eventhough we have gmf-runtime, the jars which we part of gmf-tooling are not available.
In that case how do we get that gmf-tooling functionality.?
a. Is there any release notes or updates saying that classes which were part of gmf-tooling jars have been moved to gmf-runtime or gmf-notation
or
b. what would be the alternative for gmf-tooling if it's no longer available?

Check a newer Eclipse Graphiti project
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.graphiti

Its state if Incubating, but GMF is archived long time ago.
