This is an issue I totally solved by accident. My problem was that, when
adding shortcut elements to a diagram, the connections between the
diagrams would not be added until F5 was pressed.
It turns out the solution is as easy as collecting the viewDescriptors
used whilst creating the shortcut elements, and then issuing a
DeferredLayoutCommand:
// we have a list of objects we want to add as shortcuts to the current view
for (EObject newObject : toAdd) {
CreateViewRequest.ViewDescriptor viewDescriptor = new
CreateViewRequest.ViewDescriptor(
new EObjectAdapter(newObject), Node.class, null,
prefHint);
// create element
command = new CreateCommand(
selectedElement.getEditingDomain(), viewDescriptor, parentView);
// add shortcut
command = command.compose(new CreateShortcutDecorationsCommand(
selectedElement.getEditingDomain(), parentView, viewDescriptor,
this.getEditPartModelId()));
// execute
doExecute(command); //execute it now
// get the created element
viewAdapters.add(viewDescriptor);
}
DeferredLayoutCommand dlc = new
DeferredLayoutCommand(selectedElement.getEditingDomain(),
viewAdapters, selectedElement);
doExecute(dlc);
Hope this code helps somebody else! :)

Another benefit of executing a DeferredLayoutCommand to a series of
generated elements, is that it will automatically reposition elements
that have been placed on top of each other (e.g. at (0,0)) into a more
appealing arrangement (which can be configured by an additional
parameter to DeferredLayoutCommand).
