Source code of Randy's GEF tutorial [message #158939]

Hello,

I've just read the GEF tutorial located at the IBM developerWorks website.

Does anyone know where I can get the source of that? All I want is a
small plugin to start from where no model is persistently saved. Just a
hardcoded model with a few rectangles to move around.

Thanks for any help.

Christian

There are some simple examples to start at the wiki page.
http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/GEF
The Simple Example from jbonevic is what you may want to look at.
It is the vanilla flavour example with basic shapes to move around.

I'm using Eclipse 3.0.1 and GEF 3.0.1, but get the following error using
jbonevic's plugin when trying to open the Simple GEF Example file Wizard:

The selected wizard could not be started.
Reason:
Plug-in com.bonevich.simplegef.SimpleGefPlugin was unable to load class
com.bonevich.simplegef.wizards.NewSimpleGefWizard.

My build.properties file looks like this:
source.simplegef.jar = src/java/
output.simplegef.jar = target/classes/
bin.includes = plugin.xml,\
META-INF/,\
simplegef.jar,\
icons/

In target/classes/ are the .class files. I don't know what the problem
is, but it just doesn't seen to work for me.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Including the directory META-INF (which I had deleted) seems to fix my
problems. However, why should I have to add the MANIFEST.MF file to make
the plugin run?

Thanks anyway to Jeffey for this mini GEF plugin. It really is a good
and very simple starting point.

The latest 3.1 builds contain a basic "shapes" example.
