Where can I find in-depth documentation for GMF? [message #46041]

Hi,

I'm currently investigating using GMF to generate graphical editors for
some of my companies domain specific languages.
Having played a litte around with GMF I must say that the learning curve
is very steep.

I have tried to find some in-depth documentation (i.e., explanation of the
various concepts in the gmfgraph, gmftool and gmfmap models). However, I
haven't succeeded yet. I am aware that the tutorials provides some
documentation, but it's hardly enough to really understand what is going
on.

I tried to check out the Help section in Eclipse 3.2, but apparently there
was no sections on GMF.

Can anybody point me to a good source of information?

Jakob Lyng Petersen.

There's some information in the wiki.
If you get a list of specific questions, it might be reasonable to start
with it.

Hi,

You can use this online help until we get the 3.2 site updated:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp

Or, you can utilize the help that's included as part of the SDK download. I
assume you've also looked on the wiki?

Thank you.

I missed the documentation in 3.2. I'll try to study the 3.1 material that
you pointed out.

Jakob.
