Flow designer [message #443328]

Hi,

I am planning to design some sort of flow designer using eclipse and SWT.
The basic idea is as follows.

There is a panel of standard controls/objects on a pane/panel.
User drags and drops them on some sort of drawing area.
The properties of the objects can be changed by clicking/right clicking
them.
Once user hits a save/convert button, reading the set properties of the
objects, I searlize the flow/graph to a XML format (may be XMI, not sure
yet).

Has anyone done something smiliar and give me pointers to start with?
I was looking at Visual Editor Project but not sure if that would help me
design what I intend.

Thanks in advance.

You want to look at the GEF project. It provides everything you need
to do this.

Hi Mark,
