Hi,
I´m quite lost how to get GEF integrated in a RCP standalone-Application.
How can I show e.g. a GraphicalEditor via Actions (to hook it in the menue bar, or to open as a result of some button
click)?
Thanks for any hints in advance,
Georg

Hi Georg,
I have no idea about GEF, but only some experience including draw2D into
RCP applications:
There you need an SWT canvas where you can add draw2D figures.
You get access to the SWT composite of a view (where you can put on an
SWT canvas later on) by creating a class myView which extends the class
org.eclipse.ui.part.ViewPart. There you need to overwrite the method:
"public void createPartControl(Composite parent)" and here you get the
composite where you can put some Draw2D Figures(and maybe or hopefully
also some GEF stuff).
Hope that helps

Hi Gerhard,
what you proposed would be the "direct" way which I hoped I could avoid.
What I hoped I could do is to just adapt my GEF Editor, as is described here
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-EMF/gef-emf.html (see Shapes Example goes RCP! near the end),
and open this editor in RCP. I succeeded opening the Editor via actions in rcp, but still have
the class-cast-problem in setEditorInput() described in the article.
Somehow I just fail to understand how to implement the proposed solution ... anyone can give me a hint?
- I´m Using Eclipse 3.2.2

Hi ,
We are using GEF in an RCP app.
We open our editor by doubel clicking on a tree view element representing
the
diagram to be opened.:
//objroot is our root model object
IEditorInput iei = new EditorInput(objRoot);
try {
part.getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().openEdit or(iei,
"org.pathwayeditor.mapEditor");
}catch (Exception e){
MessageDialog.openError(part.getSite().getShell(), " Map opening
error",
new String (" The map could not be opened: \n " + e.getMessage()));
}
and we need to include the editor contribution in the plugin.xml
