Hallo,
I have a small problem by the use of GEF.
I am an absolute beginner in this area and I have never worked with the
GEF-Plugin.
I use the Eclipse platform 3.0.1! In addition, I have added the Plugin
GEF-SDK-3.0.1 and the GEF-examples-3.0.1 to my Eclipse platform.
I have already perused the GEF Developer Guide to understand the
construction of a GEF-Application! With the help of the Developer Guide I
wanted to try to generate my own small editor but I don't know what kind
of project ("File->New->Project->??") I have to use!
For example, Tomcat: With (File-> New-> Other-> Java-> Tomcat Project) one
can provide to himself directly a Tomcat project. Is there also such a
thing for GEF or how does one provide a project GEF??
I have perused the GEF Developer Guide and the FAQ's, however, I could not
find out what project I should use for it. I hope that somebody can help
me! I am grateful for every help.

Hallo Robert,
The first thing that has to be said is that there is no GEF application
as such. What you will be creating is an eclipse plugin, as GEF depends
on the eclipse runtime infrastructure (and your app will benefit from
it, too).
Therefore, the project you create will be a Plugin Project. On the way
through the wizard you will then have the choice of creating a "Rich
Client Application", which is a special type of plugin that uses eclipse
as a standalone runtime environment (without the IDE stuff). You will
probably not need that now.
There are no wizard templates for GEF that I am aware of, so you will
create a plain editor plugin, add GEF as a dependency and adapt the
generated code. The best way is to use one of the example plugins that
come with the GEF distro as a reference.
HTH,
christian
