Hi,
I was wondering if it exists a recommended Graphical Ecore editor by the
EMF community team ?

I am looking for an editor with the same features as offered by the
standard EMF one (e.g add model dependencies to other models located
either in the workspace or in the target platform) at least, property
sheet view to edit the model.

For the graphical part, I need an editor that supports multi-diagrams and
navigation between them, export the diagrams in gif,...
The graphical model must not be serialized in the Ecore model but in its
own resource.

I tested some editors :
- The one provided by GMF examples but it does not support diagram
navigation,
- Topcased it seems to be a potential candidate even if adding a model
dependency to a model located in the target platform is not easy.

Does anyone have another ideas about graphical Ecore editors to test ?

Stephane.

Stephane,

The example Ecore diagram editor in the GMF project does much of what
you need, but as you've noticed it doesn't support multiple diagrams for
the same model and doesn't support showing diagrams that span models.
And recently Yves advertised "eUML" in his post titled "EMF diagram
editor" and dated "0/29/2007 2:58 PM". But my primary interest these
days is in the success of this new component proposal in EMFT which
combines the Topcased work with a GMF-based approach:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ecore_Tools_Proposal

It includes plugins you can install today:

I these the folks working on this will be very interested in your feedback.
