I'm writing an ER editor using GEF.
Each time ER model is opened it is programmatically layouted, info about
placement of diagram elements is not persisted anywhere (due to REQ).
I used schema editor example as a reference and currently have problem with
self cycles. There are elements that have references to itself. While
opening editor with such an element I get an exception
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cycle detected in graph
at
org.eclipse.draw2d.internal.graph.InitialRankSolver.solve(In itialRankSolver.java:53)
at
org.eclipse.draw2d.internal.graph.InitialRankSolver.visit(In itialRankSolver.java:34)
at
org.eclipse.draw2d.graph.DirectedGraphLayout.visit(DirectedG raphLayout.java:104)
.....
Entire model contains a single element with a single connection to itself.
Everything else works fine. I can draw such connection on an empty or
existing diagram but once it is saved (as UML) it can't be opened due to
this problem.
I'm using Eclipse 3.1.0, GEF 3.1.0
I would really appreciate if someone could advice whether self loops can be
supported in this case and any tips on this matter.
Thank you

It is not obvious whether anything is going to be done towards this issue,
one is clear that GEF doesn't hang anymore when it encounters such a case.
As much as I know directed graphs are supposed to allow self loops contrary
to undirected.
In my case I just can't avoid them because it limits application.
I would appreciate if somebody from GEF could say whether anything is going
to be done about self loops.

We didn't say to remove them from your model. Just remove them from the
input to the graph layout algorithm.
