Hello,
I'm trying to migrate from GEF/Zest to GEF4/Zest in a profiling graph plugin. Our application consist of the Eclipse IDE workbench plus a bunch of external and own plugins, in particular a profiling graph viewer.
We have recently migrated the application to Eclipse Mars, and so it uses the E3 APIs via the compatibility mode.
So now I want to replace the old content of the profiling graph display, with a new graph built with GEF4/Zest.
My current headache is how to connect a GEF4/Zest graph to an SWT Composite to draw/paint in.
With the GEF/Zest api one can pass a (SWT) composite for the graph to be displayed in:
org.eclipse.zest.core.widgets.Graph.Graph(Composite parent, int style)
But how does one make a similar connection with the GEF4 apis?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

On the level of controls, the integration between JavaFX and SWT is performed via an FXCanvasEx. As GEF4 Zest.FX is based on GEF4 MVC.FX, it re-uses its Eclipse UI integration on the viewer level. You might want to take a look into AbstractFXView (ZestFXUiView specializes it) to see (within createPartControl(Composite) and hookViewers()) how the InfiniteCanvas control of the Zest.FX/MVC.FX viewer is hooked into the Composite. Most easily, you can directly extend ZestFxUiView (and then only have to take care of providing an input Graph).
