Hello, newsgroup,
I want to create a graphical editor that looks very much like VE, but much
simpler - I just need to position and resize dialog elements plus edit their
properties. The structure and layout of the dialog should be taken from and
written back into a model implementation generated by EMF, I don't want any
code to be generated at this point. The result should be integrated as a view
(or editor) into an Eclipse plugin. What would you recommend me to do -
learning GMF (and heaping tons of questions into this NG :-)) or implement
this view/editor manually?
Thanks in advance
Volker

Not so easy question.. I suggest you to get GMF, checkout /cvsroot/technology/org.eclipse.gmf/plugins/org.eclipse.gmf. graphdef.editor
project and take a look on it. This project contains implementation of visual-editor
for GEF based on GMF, so you can pick some ideas from there. In general,
I think GMF can generate a lot of code for you, so even if you decide to
code synchronization/visualization parts by hands, you’ll still benefit from
using GMF.
