i am trying to develop the bpmn2 modeler using GEF alone . I have the emf bpmn2 model in place and really confused of how to use the model and create an fully functional Bpmn2 editor using Gef alone.

i have gone through various tutorials in internet of how to build the graphical editor from emf model, but the emf bpmn2 metamodel is complex and i am stuck in the middle and i face issues when setting the bounds for each shape (setBounds and getBounds) and it goes on.

The bpmn modeler being developed at the following location (www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/?project=bpmn2) is using graphiti. the bpmn2 modeler i propose is done enteirly in Gef (graphical editing framework).

if anyone of u are working towards the same effort or if u know anyone creating bpmn2 modeler entirely in Gef please let me know so that we can put our efforts to accomplish the goal.

you are welcome to share your views and any resource related to this effort . Thanks IN Advance

It's not clear why you'd not reuse existing frameworks (Graphiti or GMF)
designed to help with this nor why you'd not get involved with the
existing efforts to build a BPMN2 editor. How do you hope your effort
will produce better results? What are some reasons someone would choose
to be involved in your effort rather than other existing efforts?

Thanks for the reply. is there any place where i can find the gmf code of the bpmn2 modeler generated from the emf bpmn2 metamodel. its ok with me to use gmf framework as it is built on top of emf and gef.
