hi all,
i am new to GEF, infact i have just started looking into it. i have
developed generalized metamodeling tool which uses GFC for the core
implementation and GDF for drawing figures..Can i use GEF in place of GDF
keeping GFC implementation intact.
i have read that GDF cannot be used outside eclipse..is there any other
way round.
thanks in advance for help

Hi pratik,
thanks for an early reply..GFC is an IBM technology which has now been
removed from alphaworks..GFC consists of core GFC (u r right it is
something i have used for implementing the model and algorithm) ,
GDF(Graph Drawing Framework), GLF (Graph Layout framework).
i am sure i can use GEF but what i wanted to know was can i use it as a
standalone application with SWT and JFace.

SWT and Draw2d are stand-alone. JFace and GEF are married to the Eclipse
platform.

Yes, on further investigation, it seems you are right. My mistake. But GEF
is still dependent on the Eclipse platfrom. That, however, has not stopped
some others from hacking the GEF plugin to remove all platfrom dependencies
and making as much of it work outside of Eclipse as they possibly can (or at
least as much as they need).
