I'm currently assessing what level of BiDi support I can expect to put
into our application, which includes GEF editors. With the Eclipse
2.1.1 release, there have been significant advancements in BiDi support
for SWT widgets. I can now reverse the orientation of the outline view
for our GEF editors from LTR to RTL, for example, and I'm trying to see
if I can do the same for the GEF palette and graphical views.
Based on the experimenting I've done so far, it looks like this doesn't
work at the moment (based on GEF 2.1.1). I would like to determine
whether I'm coming to an accurate conclusion or not.
I've noticed that the 2.2 plan for GEF includes an item to "expose BiDi
support from SWT". Does this item imply that we can expect to see the
ability to flip the orientation of GEF/draw2d figures some time in the
future?
Thanks.

Eclipse is designed to support the creation of BiDi *content*. This means
that the document you are editing may contain BiDi, but the IDE itself is
always LTR.
The item to expose BiDi refers to the Graphics class in Draw2D, which
wrappers SWT's GC. If new methods are made available for bidi, we will have
to wrapper those new methods.
