Sorry about the back-level query, but we're trying to put together the
detailed design of a GEF-based sequence-diagram editor on Eclipse 2.1.2
(or 2.1.3), and would like to know if the following things are
possible/easy to do in that version of GEF:

(1) Constrained layout (forcing a horizontal/vertical alignment of
figures, perhaps via a snap-to-position methodology on the drop operation)

(2) Feedback during drag (displaying a "proposed target" preview for the
drop of a particular figure, or displaying the restructured diagram
based on the drag/drop action in progress)

Thanks!!

This is in GEF 3.0 and you could back-port it if you don't need to use it
with zoom.

showTargetFeedback is already being called during these operations. It's up
to the application to decide what to do.
