Hi all, I'm trying to develop a model navigator for a GMF diagram. I
would like obtain a synchronization between EMF model instantiate by GMF
diagram editor and my navigator. To obtain that, I'm using Common
Navigator Framework and I'm implementing my own content and label
providers.
The way I've thought consists in get the GMF editing domain, obtain the
resource set opened by the GMF graphical editor and finally, synchronize
with it the navigator, but I don't know how to do this operation.

Could someone help me or give the clues to perform the mentioned
operation??

Thanks to all

Hello Jose,

You can go through all the open editors using eclipse API, select those you
are interested in and get EditingDomain/ResourceSet from there.
The problem is: you can browse a model wich is not openned in any editors
and then user can open this model...

Hi,

I did the same thing recently (CNF + EMF + GMF) (successfully). If you
register a transactional editing domain, common to all views and
editors, then synchronization comes for free.

regards.

Hi,

I've got another problem. Well, I want to synchronize the project
navigator with the resourceSet given by the EditingDomain when the file
is opened and when I close the file I would like to show the model tree
as usually in default explorer, i.e., using a different resourceSet
because the editingDomain resourceSet is only available when the file in
opened. Could you tell me the way to do that?? I've tried some things
but all reported me unexpected results.

Regards
