Question on Graphiti 0.8 release [message #646254]

I noticed GEF 0.7 dependency has been introduced into Graihiti source tree around Dec 14. Does that mean Graphiti 0.8 release will only support Eclipse Indigo? Is it possible for Graphiti 0.8 release to support both Helios and Indigo?

The reason I ask is we have had the convention of making a major release of our product to support two versions of Eclipse in the past. So our next release in the summer of 2011 is supposed to support both Eclipse Helios and Eclipse Indigo.

Thank you for your consideration!

Shenxue,

we had to fix the required version for GEF to the newest Indigo version for M4 because we use some internal stuff from GEF that has changed between 3.6 and 3.7. For M5 we plan to remove that internal stuff so that we can and will open up the dependency range to enable everything starting from GEF 3.6 again.

Michael, that would be great. We are moving to use Graphiti this month (starting today Smile

) for a large project. Because of multiple other dependencies there is no way we can go to Indigo, we need to stay with Helios.

I updated to the lates6t sources for Graphiti, but I see no compile time problems with using GEF 3.6, except for some of the examples (testtool.sketch), so I wonder where the 3.7+ dependency with GEF is.

Jos,

as I wrote, we will re-enable GEF 3.6 with M5 and we target to be Eclipse
3.6 compatible with our Indigo release.

The issues that forced us to require GEF 3.7 came in just before M4 so I
don't know the details any more. I will have a detailed look into this issue
this week (see Bugzilla https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=327669
for details and progress) .

Michael, good to hear this.

In the mean I have managed to use Graphiti with the old GEF again. For people who need this too, here is how I did it. All I had to do was to change the method getDescription() in GFMarqueeToolEnrty.java as follows:

	public String getDescription() {
		String description = super.getDescription();
		if (description != null)
			return description;

		Object value = getToolProperty(MarqueeSelectionTool.PROPERTY_MARQUEE_BEHAVIOR);
		if (value instanceof Integer) {
			int selectionType = ((Integer) value).intValue();
			if (selectionType == MarqueeSelectionTool.BEHAVIOR_NODES_CONTAINED_AND_RELATED_CONNECTIONS)
				return GEFMessages.MarqueeTool_Nodes_Contained_And_Related_Connections_Desc;
			if (selectionType == MarqueeSelectionTool.BEHAVIOR_CONNECTIONS_TOUCHED)
				return GEFMessages.MarqueeTool_Connections_Touched_Desc;
		}
		return GEFMessages.MarqueeTool_Nodes_Touched_Desc;
	}

And also take out the version number of the GEF bundle in the various MANIFEST.MF files. This is a hack of course, but I am stick with 3.6 and need Graphiti to work.

In the meamtime Graphiti head is again capable of running against GEF 3.6
and GEF 3.7.
