why is the GMF diagram in the New/Example section [message #141166]

Hello,
I have a GMF diagram and I'd like to ask why I have to chose
"New/Examples" when I want to create a new diagram instance. Is it
possible to do otherwise ?

thanks,
Tex.

Hi Tex,

This is controlled by the creationWizardCategory property of GenDiagram,
whose default value is "org.eclipse.ui.Examples".

Best regards,
Boris

Thats ok, but how could i change it so that it consists a new generation
process? The plugin.xml is overwritten every new generation process (GMF
1.0.3).

I read something about an custom plugin, but i can't figure out how i
could combine the gmf diagram plugin with the custom plugin so that it
works for getting custom perspective and category for the NewWizard and
so on.

Could someone please give me some hints for that?
Regards
jens

Hi Jens,

You should change the value in the gmfgen model. In this case, the
correct value will be used, and not overwritten on each regeneration.

Not sure I understand what you are talking about. Custom perspective,
wizard category and other associated options should be specified in the
gmfgen model, not by custom plugin.

Best regards,
Boris

Thats my problem, i can't find "custom perspective" in the gmfgen file
:). The category should be simple, but we want a custom perspective too.

Hi Jens,

I see. Perspective customization is only available in the RCP mode. For
the non-RCP version, it can be done either with custom templates or
manually (in the latter case, do not forget to omit the <?gmfgen
generated="true"?> processing instruction or specify <?gmfgen
generated="false"?> so that it is preserved by subsequent regenerations).

Best regards,
Boris

Well, and that is only available in GMF 2.0 :-(. As many feature i'd
like to have. But i once tried to migrate to 2.0 and i didn't work out.
