Should I Use GEF? [message #131033] Wed, 05 May 2004 22:34 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm quite new to the Eclipse World, but i already found a bunch of
goodies. Right now, I have a 2DPlan Editor to make, and I was woondering
if GEF could be the thing I'm looking for.

Typically, what I need is the following kindof stuff (I can either program
it myself or let gef handle it, but I want to make sure that it is doable):
-For exemple, imagine a rectangle and a curve that goes from one side to
the opposite one. Let say now that I increase that rectangle size, I want
that the curve increases in size also (i need a notion of connection).
-Curves need to be selectable, moveable, deleteable.
-...

So is gef the thing or, should I just go on with traditionnal SWT?

if you have any comment or suggestion, please do so :-)

It seems like you should try the GEF.

OK. Now I just dove into GEF and there is one thing I don't get: Why is
the commandStack in the EditDomain class? Shouldn't there be a
commandstack for each EditPartViewer?

No - several viewers can be tied to one domain (i.e. each ruler is a
separate viewer)

The Outline's TreeViewer would be a better example. The rulers actually are
not using the same editdomain.
