Hi,
we are building a editor as a plugin to eclipse IDE.The editor doesn't
have any graphical representations of some entities but we want to save
some information using dialog boxes (very much like as it happens in
ontology editor made by unicorn) (see the link
" http://www.unicorn.com/dip/eclipse_plugins/v0.2/20060101/Ont ologyEditorFactSheet.html").
We want to know what technology we should use SWT or GEF or any other.
Please let us know.
Regards,
Nitin Gautam,

I'd recommend GEF ... after all, it is the Graphical Editor Framework (s=
o, is basically an layer above SWT, that provides abstractions for graph=
ical editing).

I don't know that much about Ontology editing (and the the images I coul=
d find in the link you provided didn't have much
in the way of graphical editing, from what I could see) ... but you migh=
t take a look at the design pages of Schema editor
and WSDL editor in the WTP project as examples of using GEF to represent=
(and edit) trees and networks.
