Hello,

The model that I am trying to display in GEF allows loop back
connections where a particular node can connect back to itself. It
doesn't seem the GEF likes this. If the source and target are the same
object an IllegalArgumentException gets thrown. Does anyone know of a
way to allow these kind of connections. If there is nothing built into
GEF for this then I assume I will have to create a custom connection
class that allows the same source and target and also implement some
logic for drawing the connection line.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Mike
