Hi,
I am using GEF/Draw2d in one of my projects and it seems that the API
changed for Graphics class from the release 1121 to release 1210. And
this change breaks my build. So, I am wondering what is the best way to
track the API changes in GEF? Will things be posted on the web? Or
should one learn be erring?
waiting for reply,

The changes to Graphics were announced on the mailing list.
The purpose of the change was to facilitate subclassing, by reducing the
number of methods you would have to override. Of course, this breaks people
who already spent the time to override every method.
Why did you subclass Graphics? We are releasing Zoom and Print versions of
Graphics soon.

Well, we did not subclass Graphics, rather used getStringExtent() which
has now been removed.
Anyways, it would be easy for the developers/users to follow the changes
if the changes were posted on the mailing list with a
specific heading say like [CHANGE] (similar to ANN).
Also, it is good to hear zoom is going to be available soon.

It doesn't make sense to be measuring a String at the time of painting.
This information is usually more important during layout, such as when
calculating a figure's preferredSize.
The preferred means is to call FigureUtilities.stringExtent(... )
