Hi everyone.
I was asked to make a plugin for Eclipse and I need you to point me some
tutorials about graphic manipulation (i'm new to Eclipse). This is exactly
what I need to do:

* The user will have a toolbar with objects
* This objects can be drag-&-dropped into a blank canvas
* the user can move/connect the objects
* all this information will be saved in an XML
* the user can edit manually the XML and this information should be
reflected in the canvas.

So, as you see, I need lots of things so everything will help.

Thanks!
George

Checking out the GEF project would be a good place to start. Your first
three bullet points are possible to do using their framework.

Good luck!
