I would like to use some better direct editing feature than text or combobox. So I used TYPE_DIALOG as editing type, but it seems this option is not working.

Using this type, executing direct editing always fails with following exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.graphiti.ui.internal.parts.directedit.GFDirectEd itManager.createCellEditorOn(GFDirectEditManager.java:148)
at org.eclipse.gef.tools.DirectEditManager.show(DirectEditManag er.java:397)

at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runTimer(Display.java:4167)
....

It seems Graphiti framework gets public constructor of abstract class DialogCellEditor with one Composite as parameter. But this constructor is only protected so null is returned ...

Am I missing something or is something wrong with TYPE_DIALOG ?
