Hi all

Well here is my dilema!

I would like to create a simplified GUI Editor, similar to the Eclipse
Visual Editor but without code generation etc. I would like to add GUI
widgets simmilar to the Swing or SWT widgets, buttons, tabs, tables etc
etc etc. All the GEF examples that I have found on the internet are for
class diagrams or flow diagrams etc. The graphics of these examples are
very basic colored shapes. I need "real" graphic widgets!

How do I do this?

Paul

Hello Paul,

First, we have a prototype of WYSIWYG graphical editor for .gmfgaph models
(used to generate draw2d figures) - see org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef.editor plugin.
Second, yet it is possible to define ANY graphical shapes and use them in
GMF. You can use .gmfgraph model to define graphical representations for
diagram elements or if you feel this model is not sufficient you can use
any draw2d-based figures + plug in this code into the generated editor.
