Thats about right.
Although we are excited by the idea of implementing draw2d/GEF, it most
likely wont happen anytime soon. Austin Riddles implementation is, as
far as i know, based entirely on our GC-implementation. While that is a
valid approach, it will probably require a lot of resources and never be
as fast as other RAP-components. Our approach would require creating a
client-side counterpart to draw2d and GEF, and that is where the bulk of
work would be.
Greetings,
Tim

Tim's comment is correct, the implementation we use is based on the GC implementation. But it works well enough for us. I have been planning to release our implementation since I first posted about it, but the main complication is getting it into a form where others can easily consume it. There are changes that are in the RAP target platform as well as the GEF and Draw2D projects. We will be unable to extract our organizational changes from the target platform, which means that there will be more than the GEF changes in there. Instead of using patches, we decided to make a Git repository that can be shared, so that it is easier for people to test. It is actually almost ready. I hope we can get it done by the end of December. If anyone is interested in hacking through the code as is, I would be happy to post it to a bug.....but I would like to know who would actually be interested in that.

Hi Austin,
could that be also something for the RAP Incubator? It would be great to
work on this together! You probably have more experience with the Draw2D/
GEF APIs than we have. If you could take care for the Draw2D/GEF side, we
could try to support you by improving the GC and provide missing API in
RAP.
It's true that we can't currently afford to spend much time on it, but if
could get started, maybe we could work together on a more efficient
version in an incremental way. What do you think?
Regards, Ralf
