I need to add a property to a connection(edge) which connects nodes in my
diagram. I am not in a position to regenerate the code at this point of
time. Any suggestions or pointers to how I can manually add this in the
generated code would be appreciated.

Thanks

As far as I know, the properties editor for a GMF edge is actually
handled by the generated EMF Edit code, so you shouldn't need to
generate the GMF diagram code itself.

You could always save the current code, regenerate the diagram editor to
provide properties, and then use diff to identify the changes ;)

Thanks for the reply.
I am still not very good in GMF and am having problems with the code
generation. From what I see, the connection element is handled by an
eclipse class (Relation). I do not see where I can add my own custom
properties for this class.
I need a feature similar to the multiplicity property (0..* ) that exist
in the UML diagrams.
