Re: [e4-dev] Declarative UIs and EMF

Hallvard,

GEF is mainly used for creating editors but its EditParts are well designed controllers in the MVC paradigm. I used editparts instead of writing my owns. The mechanism of creation and removal of editparts (and subsequent Views) is also a good advantage.

Regarding JavaSE-1.6 it is absolutely not a required constraint.

I am currently doing 2 things :
* moving my SVN content on a public place (work in progress), then you could directly access to source :-) * moving every Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment from 1.6 to 1.5 (and rebuilding the update site)

I will post as soon as it will be finished.

Regards,

Olivier

I use GEF because it provides a clean way to add MVC mechanism to EMF & graphical widgets. To be short, I use only few classes of GEF :

I understand that GEF may be useful in an editor, but it must also be possible to build a pure SWT (or whatever toolkit is used).

Regarding the failure of your installation attempt:
Could you please, tell me which platform are you working on.

I looked at the plugins and they seem to require Java 1.6, which I don't/cannot use: Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6 Could it be this that prevents them from being run (all the dependencies seem to be satisfied)? Is this really a strict requirement or just the default you're using?
