I have the addded the following code to my <whatever>EditPart to create
custom Anchors:

/**
* @generated NOT
*/
public ConnectionAnchor getSourceConnectionAnchor(ConnectionEditPart
connection) {
return new ProcedureAnchor(getFigure());
}

/**
* @generated NOT
*/
@Override
public ConnectionAnchor getSourceConnectionAnchor(Request request) {
return new ProcedureAnchor(getFigure());
}
/**
* @generated NOT
*/
public ConnectionAnchor getTargetConnectionAnchor(ConnectionEditPart
connection) {
return new ProcedureAnchor(getFigure());
}

/**
* @generated NOT
*/
public ConnectionAnchor getTargetConnectionAnchor(Request request) {
return new ProcedureAnchor(getFigure());
}

and

public class ProcedureAnchor extends AbstractConnectionAnchor {
public ProcedureAnchor(IFigure owner) {
super(owner);
}

public Point getLocation(Point arg0) {
Point p = getOwner().getBounds().getLocation();
getOwner().translateToAbsolute(p);
return p;
}
}

Now when I run my application the request for the anchor works as
expected. But when I release the mouse key. The connection uses the
ChopboxAnchor to create the connection (which I thought I had overwritten).

When I enter the code above the get...Anchor(ConnectionEditPart) methods
don't except the @override parameter, since there is nothing to override
in the partent class.

When I debug the code I find that the get...Anchor(ConnectionEditPart)
methods are never called :-( Well, ok no wonder that it doesn't work ...
but this is how it is documented to work on the eclipse web site ... :-(

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Regards
Martin

I guess that there was some nonprintable character hidden somewhere ...
after deletingthe methods from the source and inserting them again it
worked ...
