Re: [sirius-dev] Questions regarding a first contribution

[Emmanuel Chebbi <emmanuel.chebbi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, please keep me in touch in you find something!

About a year ago I asked for a way to drag and drop external objects 
from custom views into a Sirius diagram [1, 2] and I still need this 
feature. Concretely, I would like to be able to handle the drop freely. 
For instance, being able to register the following method so that it is 
called each time a drop is made and not handled:

public void handleDrop(Object droppedElement, Object dropSource, Object 
modelShownInDiagram) {
     EObject newElement = asEObject(droppedElement);
     modelShownInDiagram.addChildren(newElement); // updates the model 
with the dropped element, thus updating the diagram
}

Can I search for a solution and try to submit a patch or does it looks 
like too complicated / may conflict with other developments / is not a 
good idea?

Regards,
Emmanuel
