Hello,

I would like to know why the WB does not use the standard classes the GEF, for example, Figure, GraphicalEditPart, EditPart ...

I would like to implement the scroll inside the EditPart (the same way that the example does LogicCircuit GEF).

I'm doing my toolkit, I can use the classes GEF standards?

thank a lot!

WB uses a light weight, high performance subset of GEF that is compatible across all the different Eclipse versions that we support. Using standard GEF was just not suitable for what we needed to do.

That said, I don't see any reason you couldn't extend it in much the same way you would standard GEF.

I need to add support to scroll inside an Composite.
To do this, the GEF uses the default class Viewport, ViewportUtilities.
All of these classes, using as basis the IFigure interface, which does not exist in the version of WB.

I have to implement my lightweight version of this subset of classes, correct?

Thanks
