Yes. I haven't tried that - but I would start with looking at
LightweightSystem and GraphicalViewer hierarchy.

You can create a GEF viewer on any SWT Composite. For creating an editor,
you extend EditorPart, create a GEF viewer and give it the "editor control"
(in the viewer's createControl(...) method). You would do the exact
samething for a view. Extend ViewPart (or a subclass thereof), and give the
view's control to the GEF viewer.

Got a basic viewer working with no problems. However, I'd now like to make
the figures/editParts selectable. Even with the correct editPolicies
installed etc. the mosue events are not received. The viewer routes all
the events to the EditDomain but as I'm using a ViewPart and not an
EditPart I can't create a DefaultEditDomain. If i
setRouteEventstoEditDomain(false), i get a null pointer exception as
there's no EventDispatcher.

I looked at overriding the Viewer to change the eventDispatcher but the
relevant methods are deprecated.

What's the recommended way of doing this? I think what I need is a
"ViewDomain".

Is there an easier way to do this? All i really want is to pick up a
doubleClick on an editPart (normally performRequest(REQ_OPEN)).

Thanks
Chris

What you want is EditDomain, not DefaultEditDomain.
