Hi Mariot,
the package and class name in plugin.xml is correct. (I just delete some parts for posting it here)
And yes u are right system.out is evil, its just a old habit from C programming....
Now I used the debugger but got the same result. My layout provider will not be called :(
Any other suggestions?
Cheers, Martin

Martin,
Is there another layout defined with the highest priority ?
If you externalize your layout in a plug-in check that you plug-in started without errors ("Show View" -> "Other" -> "Plug-in Registry").
If you install GMF sdk there is also an example of layout provider ("New" -> "Example/ GMF PLugins/Square layout provider") to compare.
Regards,
Mariot

Hi Mariot,
thanks for the hint!
In fact the plugin could not be loaded because a ClassNotFoundException was thrown...
Now I copied the package name and class name to the extension point in plugin.xml. And it works! There must be a typo some where...
