Hi Michael,

I just returned from EclipseCon and learned that GEF 4 will be an API breaking release (new features, class refactoring, etc. etc.) Are there any plans to migrate Graphiti to the new GEF when it's released (sometime next year with the Mars simrel I believe)?

Cheers,
Bob

Hi Robert,

a plan would be said to much, but it is on the radar.

I plan to have a more detailed look into GEF 4 as soon as it is available
und then decide how to proceed. Depending on the amount of work, it might be
completely switching to GEF 4 as underlying framework or going a parallel
strategy, like starting to support GEF 4 in a side branch but keeping the
support for the old GEF 3 in place.

Nothing concrete so far... But if you (or others here) have suggestions or
ideas about this, just let me know. Of course it would be even better to get
some help in the transistion... ;-)

Michael
