Hi Adam,
You will need to get into the code a little. The GMF PolylineConnection
comes from GEF. The GMF Runtime only supports source and target decorations.
Since GEF supports a ConnectionLocator at the source, target and middle, you
should be able to extend the generated code to move the decoration to the
middle.
Cheers...
Anthony
