Hello all!
TO implement a graphical editor,eclipse GEF is a good choice.SO I want to
implement my simple uml editor based on GEF.But the examples given by
GEF,logic example and flow example are too complex.
Is there any aviable open source code simliar to uml editor?
thanks.

Hello Régis,
The documents are in french, but I find some valuable knowledges about
tools, trackers and handles.
For the moment I have only the help pages, the IBM red book about GEF
and EMF, the classical papers about GEF, draw2D on the GEF web site and
the debugger. Do you know were there is more documentations.
thank for such documents.

I am interested in this topic too, but except the one found on the cvs =
(which is good to start with but too short if you're looking for details=
), =
I didn't find any other interesting articles on this topic, sorry.
As you may already be used to if you are working with draw2d and GEF, th=
e =
only way to really understand it is to look at the code... But the code =
of =
the Tool classes is very hard to understand (mainly because a lot of Too=
ls =
are subclasses of TargetingTool which is already very hard to figure out=
=
for me). Personnaly I've given up to understand the details because I =
didn't really need to know them for my application (except for something=
=
called "intellectual satisfaction", an extremely annoying desease...).
Good luck with your researchs,

As the relation between the different component is not clear I
understand using the debugger and break point... This is not easy.
Unfortunatly, I am trying to make "rapid interaction handles" in my
editor (what I mean about "rapid interaction" - look at Poseidon editor
and every handles which appears every where). So far I have understand
GEF I think I have to be concerned about Tools, trackers, Handles,
etc... My ultimate goal is to remove property and outline views from the
editor. Every should be in the graphical view.
But the

Hello,
I am sure docs posted by Régis has must be great (based on his
knowlegable answers on this newsgroup)....but unfortunately I don't know
French :-(. It may be asking for too much can someone translate these
and make them available in English.

Greatly appreciate your effort Régis.
As for Pratik's suggestion of using a translator.....a few years ago I
made a fool of myself when I used one of them to translate text from
English to German for screens displayed on Atms...my team lead and the
clients had a good time laughing.... at my expense :-)
