Hi, im just trying to do some research before i start my dissertation
project in september and i stumbled accross GEF on my e-travels and was
wondering if it would be a suitable tool to use for my project?
Basically the project is going to be a particle effect tool that works in
a similar way to the particle flow tool works in 3DSMax if anyone has used
it, if not here is a screeny:

It allows you to visually represent your particle system by joining
components together and linking them with connecting lines.
I have already started this using Java and Netbeans. I am currently using
a series of JSplitPanel's to split the main frame up then using a JPanel
for the main area and other JPanels for the individual elements that you
can move around and link up, here is a screeny:

My problem is that when i add a new element via a right click menu I have
to call revalidate on the main panel, this causes all the elements to
return to their default position. The same thing happens whenever you move
one of the JSplitPanes as it called revalidate.
So i was wondering, is GEF ideal for my project or should i stick to
netbeans and swing components?
Thanks,
Mike
