I wanted to create Forms Editor for my emf model, then I stumbled upon EMF Eclipse Forms Editor and integrated into my project. The Forms Editor works quite well, however in my case I wanted forms editor to be the only editor that understands my model and removed all other editors such as Selection, Parent and Tree. Unfortunately without these editors loaded first menu action listeners do not work properly in Forms Editor. One example would be that only one instance of child can be created per editor being open, the other is if model allows only one child of Type A let's say, in context menu Type A menu is not disabled unless I restart the editor. I tried to debug this behavior and even added code to initialize ViewerPane during PartListener call:

protected void hideTabs() {
		if (getPageCount() == 2) {
			if (getContainer() instanceof CTabFolder) {
		          ((ViewForm)viewerPane.getControl()).getContent().setFocus();
				 viewerPane.showFocus(true);
				 setCurrentViewerPane(viewerPane);
				((FormEditor)this).setActivePage(ScrolledPropertiesPage.ID);
				((CTabFolder)getContainer()).setTabHeight(0);
			}
		}
	}

Unfortunately none of my attempts worked. Has anybody utilized EMF Forms Editor before? Perhaps there is another working solution?

Thanks,
Alex

Did you have a look at the EMF Client Platform? It could be a "better alternative".

Yes, the component of EMF Client Platform, which might be interesting
for you is EMF Forms:

Hi,

It would be great, if you could test it again and report the error!

Thanks
