Hi.
In the first tutorial you write at the end of section "Mapping Definition":

Tip : It is important to select the proper element when defining
mappings at this stage; that is, before GMF does more complete filtering
and validation. A good way to ensure you have selected the element you
intended (as several may have the same name), open the mapping
definition (*.gmfmap) file in a text editor, when in doubt.

I propose to replace this with a tip, to use the "Locate Value" button
of the properties view. This is much more effective, and lowers the rate
of failure for newcomers.

Should improvement proposals for tutorials be entered as enhancement
requests?

Best, Philipp
