writing apllets using gef [message #203499]

I am currently doing some research for a project at my university and
encoutered the following question I was not able to clarify totally.

Is it actually possible to write an applet for constructing uml-activity
diagramms using GEF in eclipse? In other words, is it possible to write an
application using GEF in eclipse and then export it somehow so I can run
the application as an applet on a webclient (browser)?

I am not quite sure if this is possible at all or if GEF is only a plugin
to be used from within eclipse.

Well, since GEF is an Eclipse plugin, you would have to run Eclipse as an
applet...

So is my assumption correct in so far as there is no way of using GEF in
Eclipse to easily build a uml-activity-diagramm editor running as an
applet in a browser.

Do I have to use Swing instead or is there any alternative to avoid
implementing every single graph editing functionaltiy by myself?

I think your assumption is correct.

You can use JGraph (http://www.jgraph.com/), but I don't know how good that
is at editing.
Also if you need so many large libraries, I would question the validity of
the applet idea.
