Hi all,

I have a GEF based application which allows to create a graphical
diagram, like the logic example. Now I would like to generate java code
for a graphical diagrama, i.e. when you add a new figure to the diagram
some code must be added to a java file. How can I do this? Do you have
done something similar to it.

Thank you very much

That is related to your model and not concerned with GEF. VE does that, so
you can see how they do that.

Hi ther,

One way to think about it would be to create the file while persisting the
GEF model.
In this way any modifications to the GEF model will cause the Java file to
change.
So if you have a figure with 4 named squares say A,B,C,D that correspond to
4 Java classes, then while storing the GEF model, create
the file with say the following text

public class ####{
}

where the #### could be the class name.

Clearly you need a template of some sort for anything more complex.
for eg. the class might not have public access but package acess instead. in
that case the user might set a flag for each
class (A,true) (B,false)

the template becomess

%%%% class ####{
}

which would create 2 classes

public class A{
}

and
class B{
}


the template would make things more flexible.

i hope that was useful.

Have a look at the Java Emitter Templates (JET), part of EMF.

There are two articles on the Eclipse pages about JET:

JET Tutorial Part 1 (Introduction to JET)
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-JET/jet_tutorial1.ht ml

JET Tutorial Part 2 (Write Code that Writes Code)
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-JET2/jet_tutorial2.h tml

Hope that helps,
