Has anyone attempted to make a standalone editor separate from Eclipse? In
the FAQ it states:

"The official answer is No, this is not supported. The main reason
involves the use of an Eclipse-specific file titled plugin.properties
which GEF uses for string externalizations. However, since GEF is an open
source project, modifications to the GEF codebase could potentially allow
a GEF editor external to Eclipse."

I was wondering if anyone had tried it and how difficult it was.
