You have to override the doSave-method in your editor class (subclass of
GraphicalEditorWithPalette or another editor)! There you get a monitor
object. Now you have to write an object, that writes your modell to xml
an add it then to the monitor.
I hope it helps :)

Try the Shapes-Example from GEF. doSave is implemented there. But they
use serialisation and not XML, but it shows how to save your stuff!

Adam, Actually I am working on Shapes example. Check the following
<b>diagram = (ShapesDiagram) in.readObject();
XMLHandler handleXML = new XMLHandler();
handleXML.WriteToXML("c:/Testing.xml",diagram);</b>
and handleXML.WriteToXML method details are
<b>XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fileName)));
encoder.writeObject(object); // object here is diagram (which contains all other shapes).
encoder.close();</b>
But saving like this will give you following xml output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.4.2_11" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
<object class="org.eclipse.gef.examples.shapes.model.ShapesDiagram"/ >
</java>

I think that your fault is in the usage of the XMLEncoder. Look into the
docs: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/beans/XMLEncode r.html
It says: Despite the similarity of their APIs, the XMLEncoder class is
*exclusively* designed for the purpose of archiving graphs of JavaBeans
as textual representations of their public properties.
So maybe your model have to be a JavaBean with public getters and
setters and so on. I am not really sure.
