ConnectionEditPolicy and requests besides DELETE [message #132181]

The ConnectionEditPolicy JavaDoc says that the policy "should not be used to
show feedback or interact with the host's visuals in any way".

However, I noticed that I if I wanted my connection edit policy to
understand any requests besides DELETE, I had to add show and erase source
fedback methods. I notice that the flow example also has these methods on
its connection edit policy (TransitionEditPolicy).

What is happening here? Should I add a different edit policy to my
connection edit part if I want it to understand other requests?

This comment is probably stale. The possiblity was that you would share an
EditPolicy implementation in both the graphical and tree viewers. Of course
in the Tree there are no figures. But connections typically aren't
displayed in the outline anyway, so this is not really valid.
