I am not able to get the Shared GEF Diagram example working. My Eclipse
error log is empty, and no errors are dumped to console output.
These are the steps I used:
* Installed Eclipse 3.2M5A with latest emf-sdo, gef, ecf 0.75
* Started localhost ecf server with startserver.cmd.
First user:
* Created a simple project "Test1".
* Connected to server by ECF menu as "user1" for that project.
* Created new Shared GEF Diagram "my_new.diagram".
Second user:
* Ran another instance of eclipse by using another workspace.
* Created a new simple project "Test2"
* Connected to same local server as "user2" by using ECF menu.
* Created Shared GEF Diagram "my_new.diagram" and linked (Advanced -> link
to file in file system) with the same file in first workspace
Now, any change I make & save, is not reflected automatically to another
user. I must not be following the procedure correctly, but don't see what
I'm doing wrong. Do you have any suggestions?
* Is the linking the diagram necessary for user2?
* I noticed that when I right click on the *.diagram file of the project,
that there is an "ECF->Open Shared Editor". Should this be used in the
above procedure? Where?
* I tried opening the diagram in the first workspace with "Open Shared
Editor" right-click, but still now collaborative effects observed.
* I tried opening diagram in both workspaces with "Open Shared Editor",
but no collaboration observed.
* When opening shared editor for user1, then user2 gets dialog "open
shared editor of foo.diagram from user1?". After user2 accepts dialog, no
collaboration effects observed afterwards.
Thanks...Bob

You don't need to link this my_new.diagram to the old one...by having
the same project name and file name the graphshare editor automatically
hooks them together (as long as they are connected to a given
collaboration server...as you have described/done).
Note you can run your two clients at ecftcp://localhost:3282/server as
you describe, but you can also connect to
ecftcp://ecf.eclipse.org:3282/server and things should work as well.

Yes, the only thing that you are doing wrong is using different names
for the projects "Test1" and "Test2" in the two clients. They should be
the same (i.e. "Test1" and "Test1").

No...this is actually another example application...not directly related
to the graphshare editor. It should be connected...but currently it is not.
I think the only problem is the use of "Test1" and "Test2" for project
names. The .diagram resource is scoped to the particular project...for
this example they need to be the same.
