I have several objects is my gef editor's palette that the user can drop in
the diagram and connect them.
What I need to do is to allow the user to dinamically add new objects to the
palette. Previously he/she must setup this object with some "object creation
tool" that will export the results in an XML file that represents the
object's attributes, size, and the gif image it uses to represent itself.
So, basically I need:
1) Know how to translate an XML to java classes to import them to GEF (the
model class and the editpart class)
2) Know how to dinamically link this classes into the palette (maybe I have
to copy them to a directory and then refresh the palette).
3) Know if there's another mechanism to add objets to the palette in
runtime.
Thanks!
George

I`ll have to do the same thing and posted a related question about it on=

14. Sep.
Here`s a link to the message with some answers, perhaps they help:

I believe the answer to question3 is the easiest.
You can simply add PaletteEntries to the PaletteRoot in runtime with
getPaletteRoot().add(newPaletteEntry);
The newPaletteEntry would have to be created from the XML file somehow.
I`m currently thinking about having a BasicModel class which takes some =
=
properties(an attribute list and a figure) as parameters. Then I can =
instatiate it with different parameters to represent different model =
objects. The parameters would be loaded from the XML.(or in my case rdf)=
Any thoughts?
