Problems with PaletteDrawer [message #150338]

Hello, I am developing a Graphical Application using swing and I have to
create a tool Palette.

Now I have read about GEF and I can notice that exists a class named
PaletteDrawer. I have just read the API but I don`t know how to use it
into my program.
If someone knows how to do it, please, tell me.

Thanks a lot.

P.D.: Excuse my level of English

Look at LogicPlugin#createPalette().

You create a PaletteRoot and in it put the items you want to place on the
palette. This palette root (model) is then passed on to the PaletteViewer,
which creates EditParts (controller) and figures (view) for it.

This is an extensive framework and not something that you can copy and put
into your code (at least not easily and not without quite a bit of re-work).

Is your application an Eclipse plug-in? If so, you should consider
switching to GEF; if not, you should consider using RCP. :-)

Well, I have done that, but now, I do not know where to place the
PaletteViewer. How can I place it into a JPanel?

Thanks a lot

You can't. That is what I was trying to tell you. GEF is based on
Draw2d/SWT, not Swing/AWT.
