I have just downloaded GEF and want to get the logic example going. The
readme says:
To use the Logic Example, use the wizard on the "New..." Menuitem.
OK, so I choose the New item. But then what? Can someone just give some
simple instructions to get this up and running? Doing a (hopefully) quick
evaluation.
Much appreciated

Aha ... I just got this myself. You need to make sure that the gef plugin
is enabled and functioning happily from within Eclipse. There may be a
shorter way, but here's how I found it:
* open the plug-in perspective. Window->Open Perspective->Other. Select
Plug-in Development
* find the list of plug-ins that are installed. Window->Show View->Plug-ins
* this should pop up an explorer window to the left labeled "Plug-ins"
* In the title bar of the "Plugin-ins" explorer window should be a pull down
menu marked with a down arrow directly to the left of the close window X.
click that
* It'll say, show workspace plug-ins and show disabled external plugins.
Make sure show disabled external plugins is selected
* Now, if you've unpacked the same into the plugins directory, you should
see it listed in the disabled plugins
* Right click over the com,ibm.etools.gef.examples.logicdesigner plugin and
select Import->As Binary Project
* Bear with me, we're getting closer
* Now comes an annoying part. You'll need to right click over the now
enabled com.ibm.etools.gef.examples.logicdesigner plugin and select Show In
Package View
* Then open up the plugin and clik on the plugin.xml file. You'll notice a
number of alerts for this package. These alerts essentially tell you that
you need to install other plugins. Install these plugins as listed. Here's
the list I ended up with
com.ibm.etools.draw2d
com.ibm.etools.draw2d.doc.isv
com.ibm.etools.gef
com.ibm.etools.gef.examples.logicdesigner
org.apache.ant
org.apache.lucene
org.apache.xerces
org.eclipse.ant.core
org.eclipse.core.boot
org.eclipse.core.resources
org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.help
org.eclipse.swt
org.eclipse.ui
org.eclipse.update.core
org.eclipse.update.core.win32
There might be a couple extraneous, but I can't tell.
Hope this helps!

Assuming you have all the needed plugins, click on the New... Examples... then
either Logic Diagram or GEF (Graphical Editing Framework). We recently changed
this, so I'm not sure which one it is. There should only be one option from
there on. Hope this helps.

This seems it too much like hard work. Did you download the GEF
framework from http://www.eclipse.org/gef/ if so you should just have to
extract the contents into your eclipse directory and restart eclipse.
Once in eclipse ensure that you have at least one project and then right
click on the Navigator/Resource view and select New -> Other... to bring
up the New... wizard. In the tree on the left hand side of the wizard
choose Examples -> Example Logic Creation Wizards, this should take you
through the rest example resource creation. This should open up the
example GEF editor to allow you to edit your binary logic model.
What is useful is to import the plugin as a source project, simalar to
how you imported the plugin as a binary project.
You might also want to look at the Shapes example as a simpler
introduction to GEF, I know it helped me out. yo ucan find it on the
Eclipse WIKI at http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/50#shapeeditor
Cheers

Of course, you don't actually have to import GEF into a development
workspace to see it run. You can and probably should unzip it straight on
top of your Eclipse 2.0 development IDE. This will allow you to see the
online reference.
Then, so what Eric said and run the wizard.
