That Wiki page is out of date. You should select the Europa Update Site
when doing Find and Install; I'm pretty sure you'll find GEF there. Make
sure to use the "Select Required" button after you have selected GEF to
make sure you also get all the prerequisites.

If you have further questions, the eclipse.tools.gef newsgroup is
probably a better place to ask - I've added it to this reply.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Eric

I was talking to Karun offline about this. The Europa Update site was not
working for him either.

Note that the Europa Update site is built from the GEF Update site, so both
will work.

I agree that the Europa Update site is preferred as a one stop shop for
Eclipse updates.

Cheers...
Anthony

(p.s. Hopefully Karun is a him (Karuna a her), apologies if not).
