Hi,
I'm using EMF/GMF models outside of Eclipse which works nicely and only
requires a couple plug-ins in the class path. Usually these are enough:
* Eclipse core runtime:
o org.eclipse.core.expressions
o org.eclipse.core.resources
o org.eclipse.core.runtime
o org.eclipse.equinox.common
* EMF Ecore model:
o org.eclipse.emf.ecore
o org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi
o org.eclipse.emf.common
* GMF Notation model:
o org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.type.core
o org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.notation
With this I can read and modify my domain model and also load the
diagram information. Now, I would like to be able to create views as
well. So what I want to use is the generated View factories in my GMF
editor. These, on the other hand require the visual IDs which are stored
in the edit parts and this is where I get into trouble.
For instance, in:
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editparts.ConnectionEditP art. <clinit>(ConnectionEditPart.java:233)
you find this code:
/**
* Register the adapters for the standard properties.
*/
static {
registerAdapters();
}
and here my neat little application crashes because it needs a properly
configured and running org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform instance, which
I don't and I actually don't want to have.
So I was wondering why the visual IDs and the view factories are so
tightly coupled with the edit part and the GEF code. Wouldn't it be
nicer to separate the things a bit more? Or is there another way of
doing these sorts of things?
Cheers,
Christian

Hi Alex,
thank you for your answers. I was hoping to not have to go that way, but
I guess I have no other choice. Thanks anyway.
