I'd seriously start here:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-diagram-editor/s hape.html

Then look at some other articles and resources referenced at the GEF
website (http://www.eclipse.org/gef/reference/articles.html)

Good luck on taming the beast (I mean this in a good way).

Cheers,

~ Chris

Check this link. http://www.eclipse.org/gef/reference/articles.html

You will get many references to tutorials and worked examples.

1. To start with read http://www.eclipse.org/gef/reference/GEF%20Tutorial%202005.p pt

2. Then read the Draw2D example from http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-Draw2d/GEF-Draw2d.ht ml

3. Then go ahead with Shapes example.http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-diagram-edit or/shape.html

4. After that I suggest you to go through Japanese GEF tutorials at http://www13.plala.or.jp/observe/index.html#draw2d
Though the samples are in Japanese, source-code could be understood very easily. The best simple examples available without any confusion for a novice.

5. After that, go to advanced examples like logic, flow, schema editors. etc.,

Thanks

I think that good resource is this book:
http://www.manning.com/books/scarpino

There are the chapters regarding Draw2d and GEF with examples.
