Howdy,
I am slowly starting to understand how to use Eclipse. I did all sorts
of uhhh less than pretty things to get the examples such that I could
play with the source before I found how to do the following.
I'm sure the directions for adding an example plug-in is available for
M9, but for those of us that have as hard a time with a new tool like
me, here is what I did to get the flow example up in M9.
install Eclipse 3.0 M9
install gef 2.1.3
install the examples for gef 2.1.3
start Eclipse ...
File->Import->External Plug-ins and Fragments
click Next and choose Import As: Project with source folders
select org.eclipse.gef.examples.flow (2.1.2) and click Add-->
you now have the plug-in project with the source to play with
fix the 3.0 migration bug as the help in the from 3.0 porting guide
tells us!
open the project then open
src-flow->org.eclipse.gef.examples.flow.ui (they have the little
error message icons (red box with an 'x') that show the location of the
error
upgrage FlowWizardPage1.java by replacing this
page.openEditor(newFile);
with this
org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor(page, newFile, true);
and you should have a ready to go plug-in
with the project selected, click
Run->Run As->Run Run-time Workbench
when the new copy of Eclipse starts
File->New->Project and give your project a meaningful name
select the project and
New->Other->Examples->GEF (Graphical Editing Framework)->Flow Diagram
and you have an example you can play with
I don't know if that is the 'best' way to get the examples up, but it
worked for me and it was a lot easier than what I was doing before.
Let me know if the above is wrong or messes something up.
Thanks,
Gary

Geez, this sounds complicated! I solved compatibility problems simply
downloading the latest version of GEF and its examples...
But since you seem to know where to put your hands, try to solve this:
I created a new Java Project, with the LogicDesigner sources. I copied the
plugin.xml, the icons and the plugin.properties from the original to mine.
I compiled the plug-in, re-started the Workbench, selected the Logic
Designer Wizard under GEF Examples. But when I click the 'finish' button
Eclipse gives me a java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError, at line 83 in
the LogicWizardPage1, at the beginning of the getInitialContents method.
It seems like the plug-in doesn't manage to create the IFile... What do
you think?

The way you describe below is what I did before I found the 'easy way',
now it's a few clicks..., edit the small change to V3.0 and I'm up.
I'm just starting to understand. I didn't see anything in
LogicWizardPage1#getInitialContents but it would have to be pretty
obvious for me to see a problem.
