Hello.

I'm working on a plugin for modeling language. In this language, there are
entities like those 2 represented below. Those entities have names and
features and an area to insert other entities.
What I have to do is allow the user to create those entities and resize
their "internal" area. Also, I have to allow the user to insert some types
of entities in this internal area, but not any type, in fact some types
can only be added in an internal area and others can be added only in the
outside area.
The user must be able to move freely the internal entities but only in the
internal area an create associations between those internal entities.
Also, the user must be able to move any entity with their respective
internal areas, without affecting entities position in the internal area.

Is this posible to do with GEF?
How hard it would be?
What do I need to know to do it?

Thanks in advance. :P

All these features you have described above are supported by GEF. An example
plugin which has some of the implementation you want is the logic plugin.
Generally, you will propably find GEF very lazy at the begining ,but as
you learn more thinks about this you will find it very simple.
