Hi,
Not sure how to to go about defining gmfmap for the following scenario:

Node
|
|
|
|
|
----Connector
|
|
|
|
|
--------LeafNode

I would defined Node as a TopReferenceNode, skip Connector while representing & would like to directly add LeafNode as children of Node.

Secondly show connector as a link mapping.

Tried to search but did not found something similar. Any hints/pointers should suffice.

Thanks
Vishal

AFAIK, GMF Tooling won't allow you to create complex dereferencing (ie
maing a child node for something that is not a direct child). That's an
important limitation, and you should open a feature request for that.

I suggest you to generate the code with a simple childhood relationship
and taks a look at the generated EditParts. You'll find out the place
where dereferencing happens, and you could maybe replace it by a more
complex piece of code.

If you work on that, please share your conclusions on the feature
request, it is a step towards integrating support for such relationship
in GMF Tooling.
