Hi,
I want to make a ConnectionEditPart that has a block arrow as it's
figure. What is the right way to do it ? I am thinking of using the
Polygon figure but not sure if it would automatically stretch. Any
pointers in this regard are greatly appreciated.
I have attached an image that depicts my requirement.

Thanks,
Pavan

"Any pointers". lol.
I would just subclass Figure or Shape and override paint (or outline/fill
for shapes).
I'm assuming you want to treat this arrow like a rectangle.

I will be using this as a ConnectionEditPart. So when I move figures
connected by this arrow, will the arrow be automatically stretched. How
do I specify the size of the arrow. Do I give direct values for the
length of the arrow ? "Pointers" needed again.

To do what you are trying, you will need to create a custom connection
implementation.
You could extend PolylineConnection, but you'd be changing the way bounds
calculation and painting is done completely.
