load HelloGef1 into a StructuredViewer [message #66694]

I have created a GraphViewer class that extends
org.eclipse.jface.viewers.StructuredViewer. The final goal is to have
another view besides the existing JFace views: TreeViewer, ListViewer, etc.
Since I'm new to GEF I want to start with something simple, a Proof Of
Concept using HelloGef examples.
Is there a way I can load the HelloGef1 example into my GraphViewer ?
What are the steps ?
Any hint is welcome.

What is the motivation for placing GraphicalViewer in a StructuredViewer?
Are you trying to make a workbench View?

JFace Viewers which are not the same as Views. Viewers are simply helpers
for an SWT Control. Views are a workbench concept. Viewers don't know
about Views, and vice-versa.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. Is there any way around ?
I've seen it done using ContentViewer which is the superclass of the
StructuredViewer. But since the existing implementation takes a
StructuredViewer I have tried to make less changes.

The existing implementation of what takes a StructuredViewer?

The existing implementation I have is a tabulated view which already
contains a ListViewer,TableViewer and a TreeViewer.
All these viewers have drag&drop support through the addDragSupport and
addDropSupport methods inherited from the StructuredViewer.
That is the reason why I wanted my GraphViewer to be a StructuredViewer,
because eventually I will need to implement the drag&drop support too.

Out of curiosity, where did this tabulated view come from? If you own it,
couldn't it be more flexible if it just know about SWT Controls instead of
Viewers?
