What do you mean by a Main Class ?
A class which contains the "main" method in it ?
There is no such a class when you write a plugin for Eclipse.
The entry point for Eclipse in your plugin is the class implementing =

IEditorPart, which is specified in the plugin.xml file of the plugin.

Or maybe you want to use it as a standalone application, without Eclipse=
? =

That is not possible.
The only way you can use and modify this flow example is as a plugin for=
=

Eclipse, and thus, there is no main class.


Maybe somebody else could explain to you the right way to get started to=
=

modify an existent plugin because I am not sure about it.

Maybe you should create a new plugin project in Eclipse, copy the source=
=

files of the flow example in your src folder, copy the plugin.xml in you=
r =

project folder, modify the id of your plugin in the plugin.xml file, try=
=

to compile it and run it and see what happens...or something like =

that...then beginning to modify it...

I hope I have understood your question well and that this will help you,=

Shell for SWT...)
i don't know how to run this plug-in cos there is no main method...
I am new at GEF sorry ...
Thanks in advance

GEF, or if it is possible it is not easy or at least GEF is not made for=

that purpose. There was a thread a few days ago named "Newbie: gef =

standalone" where you can find information about that.

Second you can't run this plugin outside of the Eclipse plateform. It's =
a =

plugin so it is made for interacting with Eclipse.

But why don't you write a plugin for Eclipse based on the flow example =

instead of your standalone application ?

GEF is fine for an standalone application. See the circuit simulator
/(digitalSimulator) example on the eclipse wiki

http://eclipse-wiki.info/GEF

By "circuit simulator", do you mean that:

If it's the case, the author says it is a "first attempt to make a =

standalone application with..." and that some functionnalities are not =

supported. So that does not really mean that gef is fine for a standalon=
e =

application.

For example, the author says the delete operation is not working and it'=
s =

understandable because in the logic example the delete commands are =

triggers by a global action in Eclipse or by a key stroke, and this two =
=

way of invoking delete make use of the =

org.eclipse.gef.actions.DeleteAction (I think) which is a SelectionActio=
n =

and the constructor of a SelectionAction takes a IWorkbenchPart as =

parameter for having a way of knowing about current selection in the =

workbench. So you can't use this kind of things outside of Eclipse.

In the other thread, somebody mentionned the RCP. I didn't know what thi=
s =

was so google tells me that:
http://viva.sourceforge.net/republic/2003/11/eclipse_rich_cl ient_platfor=
m_rcp_upcoming_in_milestone_5.html
maybe you should search in this direction...
