I need to get the name of the Project which I am working in so that I can
save the various files which I create in the GEF application.
I tried this but :(

IWorkspace myWorkspaceRoot =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getWorkspace();

IProject myWebProject = myWorkspaceRoot.getProject();

Please help

There is no such thing as "the project in which you are working".
You could have multiple projects open and be working in all of them.
What you *can* do is get the IProject of a specific IResource.
So, what you should do is determine the IFile for your GEF diagram (you can
get it from ((IFileEditorInput)getEditorInput()).getFile(), and then call
getProject().

Since there can be multiple open projects at one time, this is just not
possible. I believe there has been discussion of this point in the
platform newsgroup.

What you can do is use an IResource to determine its project. For
instance, an IFile: IFile.getProject().getName(). Your GEF diagram
should give you access to the IFile interface.

For another way to determine the project in another context see the
following newsgroup posting.

Never mind- you confirmed that I wasn't just blowing smoke.

Note that this will throw a ClassCastException if you're not careful
when you open a file outside your workspace in your graphical editor.

Good point.
You should check that getEditorInput() is an instanceof IFileEditorInput.
