Dear Fabrice and all
just to give you an update on the progress I have made so far:
Following the MVC paradigm and the inherent support of it in GEF we will
obviously need to create the following packages:
- process model
- process edit parts
- process figures
The tricky thing about pluggable grammars and graphical representations
will be the fact that both model and figures are not static, ie. change
depending on current grammar and representation. This means that the
edit parts and all other GEF elements as well sort of inherit this
dynamic characteristic.
The solution I have come up with so far is to work heavily interface
based and provide factories which create concrete model objects, edit
parts and figures of the correct type, depending on grammar and
representation. It is sort of hard to put into words how this works exactly.
I am working on a proof of concept (GEF based editor) and as soon as it
is more or less workable I will provide a class diagram and detailed
description of the concepts that I employed.
Best regards,
Roman

Yes, this is a good approach. I was thinking of an adapter pattern and I
think it is what you ended with, am I wrong ?

OK this is fine. As soon you have something could send it to me please ?
I think it would be interesting to add this to the creation review slides.
Thanks for your help !
