Hi all,
I try to create a sequence diagram where I have to split in roles.
I want to make a swimlane (I have seen in DSL Tools that it´s possible) to
do it, but I don´t know if it is implemented.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Iván -
implementing a sequence diagram with GMF will be a hard task, as
sequence diagrams are not plain graphs structurally, e.g. the position
of a message carries semantic information.
Nevertheless, the easiest way to create something like swimlanes is to
use a freeform (non-list) compartment. It will not have the
auto-size/-layout features you'd expect, but it will be easy to
implement and stable. Note that in plain GMF, the elements contained in
the compartment must also be contained semantically in the semantic
element of the swimlane. For a given metamodel, this is only true in
very rare cases.
You can also have a look at the uml tools form the MDT project. They
have added swimlanes, e.g. to the activity diagram editor. AFAIK, that
requires a significant amount of manual changes to the generated code,
as well as hand written LayoutEditPolicies etc. Maybe the MDT guys and
gals can help you.
