Hi all,
we plan to develop a gui builder, but I'm not sure what framework should the
gui builder based, GMF runtime or GEF, which is the better option?
the gui builder should have the following basic features:
1. code generation.
different widget can generate different code block when dragged onto the
graphical editor, and the code can be seen on the source page.
2. extensibility.
easy to extend. user can contribute his widget easily(palette entry,edit
part, code generator, property editor etc.)
I spend some time in GMF runtime, and find that if I define models for every
widget , I should do the following steps to contribute a new widget:
1. define a new ecore model(based on existed ecore model).
2. generate model code from the ecore model using EMF code generator
3. register the new model via the extension point
