Hello
The documentation says that an application can only be run as an Eclipse
plug-in buth then says that it could be adapted to run stand-alone.

Has this been done yet? - I like the idea of GEF but I don't want my
application to run within Eclipse

Cheers
Mike

I'm not sure if it's possible to run it fully standalone. But you could
try building an RCP (Rich client platform) application. It allows you to
build a standalone application with Eclipse components.

GEF perfectly works outside the eclipse platform. I develop a client and use GEF. There are some minor limitations with the outermost widget. The outermost widget usually is an eclipse EditPart which is initialized/called by the eclipse platform. I use an own custom view (composite) and the whole rest works like a charm.

check the examples on this japanese site. You'll probabaly won't be able to read the text but the code is expressive enough...
