Integrate own Gef in GMF [message #504692]

Hi,

I extended the gef framework for my own behaviors and now i have the problem to integrate it in gmf. How can i set the required references of gmf to my gef? Is it possible to do this so easy as i thougth?

I downloaded the sources of gef and generate a my.gef plugin. It seems to be working.
I downloaded the gmf sources too, because i need to update the dependancies. Instead of org.eclipse.gef i am using my.gef.

Is there something where i can get the sources for the GMF Project. I downloaded it from the CVS but i can´t compile it. I want to switch the org.eclipse.gef dependancies with my.my.gef.

Now a important question. What are the steps to generate the gmf plugins. I only need to update my.gef on org.eclipse.gmf.ui.diagrams (+.properties), org.eclipse.[something].gef. Do i need to generate the whole GMF Source Project as a new Plugin or just the 3 Projects?

Thanks
Thomas

Is Feature Patch a solution for this? Fragments do not work for this, but Fragments are not "definded" to replace Plugins.

The only "do not make a heavy change of gmf and gef solution" is a feature patch.

But is this true, its just a self study????

Thanks

Thomas,

Your problem description is very vague, including the one you cross
posted to the newcomers newsgroup. Fragments are not intended for
injecting your extensions into a base framework. If you extend GEF then
you'll need to extend the GMF classes where your want your classes to be
used instead of the basic GEF ones.

I know, but have you ever seen the overhead changing every gmf class which depends on gef? It should be exist a better solution. I tried it but, puh....after 1 minute i stopped because of nonsense!
Yes this is because of i don´t have the time right now.

Thomas,

It remains unclear what specific problem you're trying to solve. I
don't imagine you've changed every GEF class nor that you will have to
change every GMF class that depends on GEF. It's unlikely you'll get
help unless you're more specific.

Ok, i solved it with a friend. We imported the plugins as source code build a new version (Plugin and feature) changed the depandancies of GEF and GMF in the plugin.xml. It worked.
Doesn´t though eclipse is that good to handle it that easy....
Sorry that i was annoying.
