Hallo,
Can someone point me to a good documentation regarding Properties View for
GMF 2.1?
In short... GMF 2.1, in gmfgen, I want to customize the Properties View
and define one tab, containing multiple sections.
In long... in gmfgen, I create Property Sheet -> Custom Property Tab (and
specify its human readable label T_HRL, identifier T_ID and implementation
class T_IMPL) and its Typed selection filter.
When I generate the diagram code from gmfgen, the result is the following:
In plugin.xml, there is one additional propertyTab, and one additional
propertySection which class is T_IMPL, i.e. the implementation class of
the tab from gmfgen, and T_IMPL extends AdvancedPropertySection. This
means, for each tab in gmfgen, the generator creates one tab with exactly
one section. This means, relationship between tab:section is 1:1, but not
1:n - the way it is supposed to be :)
I have no problem doing this in the generated diagram plugin.xml... but
every time I re-generate from gmfgen, my manually added tabs/sections in
plugin.xml are lost.
It would be best if someone could refer me to a good documentation
regarding customizing properties view in gmfgen for GMF 2.1.
Kind regards,
Iliyana Ivanova

Hello Alex,
thank you for the quick answer. I'm using the first possibility for the
time being (<?gmfgen generated="false"?>) and it works ok.
Do you know whether it's been planned for GMF to support the tabbed
properties view, as described by Anthony Hunter's article
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Tabbed-Properties/ta bbed_properties_view.html
?
Kind regards,

Hallo Anthony,
I haven't really thought about having a clear separation between the
generated gmf code and the customized code, and I think this is actually
impossible in my case.
My business model is complex and can not be handled by GMF, so I have
created an intermediate business model via some transformations.. and I
can not really keep the generated GMF code as is, because I have to do a
lot of customization to keep the integrity between the original and
intermediate business models. That's why I have decided to keep everything
in one plugin.
Kind regards,
Iliyana
