Hi,
I have just started working on Eclipse and have recently going to GEF.
I want to make a component that generates Version History and Branching
History for Subversion repository. My question is, is GEF the ideal tool for
it or can anyone suggest another tool that I can use for it.
I do not see a lot of editing happening on the display (none at all at this
stage) but would have to calculate the position of nodes at run time which
would be dependent on the complexity of the branch.
Does the GEF come with a feature where it can autoarrange nodes etc?
Regards,

Are you aware that there are several Subversion plug-ins for Eclipse
already? I don't know if they offer the features you describe; I just
thought I'd mention it.

Hi,
Yes, there are several Ecplise plug ins for Subversion. However, the feature
I want to add does not already exist.
It is a graphical representation that shows revisions as nodes and it really
shows starting from the first node onwards, shows the progression of
revisions, and merges.
I have seen a similar tool in WindRiver SNiFF, and want to make something
similar to it.
My concern is, because of the varying complexity an old repository may have,
I want something that can help me autoarrange the nodes when I display them.
Because I have not worked with Graphics on java/eclipse at all, what I have
read of GEF seems it is more oriented towards Graphical Editing. My question
is, is GEF a good tool for the the kind of work I want to do or should I
used simple Draw2D. My motivation for GEF is that at some stage, I may want
to add some interactive options to this picture. Another interesting tool I
have come accross is JFreeChart.

What have you come up with so far?
I want to create a graph view of a B+Tree as I develop it. I'm
considering GEF because someday, it may be an interface for
interaction with the database the tree indexes, but it may not.
In the mean time. I'd like to avoid developing code to do shape
layout. I'd like to use standard container shapes, the sort that
used to draw UML or ER diagrams, without having to do text
layout and the like myself.
Is your project an open source project, by the way?
