Multiple Views in one Editor? [message #47168]

Hello Guys!

I want to show two different views using GEF. The user should be able to
drag Objects from one view to the other. The data for both views is obtained
through an RMI-Connection, so I don't need two Editors to handle different
file types.
Now I don't know what is the best solution for this:
1. Use two Editors and somehow handle Drag and Drop between them.
2. Use one Editor and two Viewers, seperated by a Splitter. This would be
much like GraphicalEditorWithPalette.

I tried to go the second way, but stopped to think as I saw that Splitter
has only Package access rights - is that a sign that multiple views in one
Editor should not be used?
Would it be difficult to implement drag'n drop between two different
Editors?
Which solution would you recommend?

Thanks for any Feedback! :-)

Manfred Goetz.

You can use SashForm from SWT. The only difference in Splitter is that way
the separator is painted.
