How can I modify the GEF shapes diagram editor example? [message #673193]

Hi,

I am starting with GEF so after reading some tutorials, I tried to execute some examples.
I downloaded the GEF examples from Eclipse website and put them in my Eclipse directory. It works, I can use for example the Shapes diagram editor.
What I would like to do is modify some parts of the application but I don't have the source code in my Eclipse project, only one *.shapes file.

My question is how can I import the source code into an Eclipse project to modify it afterwards?

I would like to start with this project: www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-diagram-editor/shape.html
and then modify some parts of it (my goal is to create a workflow editor).

If anybody has an idea or has an Eclipse project that I can directly import, that would be very helpful.

Thank you very much.

Gregoire

You need to download the source of the Shapes Editor Plugin, along with the Plugin itself.

Then, go to to new -> project -> example -> GEF Plugin development, and choose Shapes.

You can now create a new project, with the source code.
