Hi, I'm researching GMF as a possible tool for our project.
We have to create a simlation screen that will allow the user to place
elements and assigne a path to them. I've done the mindmap tutorial with
success and liked the results, but I was wondering if there anyone sees a
problem of creating this type of app with GMF.
My question is that the waypoint in a path that an element must follow,
should be X,Y as oppsosed to UML or other diagrams where position is not
important. Is there anything I should be aware of? Are there any fundamental
roadbloack to do this in GMF?
Thanks!

You should look for code like in SetBoundsCommand that modifies

I've just thought that you may try to listen to notation model changes
in editpart and update domain model accordingly. In fact editparts
already listen to changes in their models so you may trace events in
handleNotificationEvent(Notification) in editparts and see what happens
there.
