The version of GEF which you can download now from the propsal will undergo
some changes.
First, we have not frozen the code yet.
Second, we have not renamed it to be org.eclipse.
The proposal ZIP is an old snapshot of the version that will be distributed
in WSAD 5.0. If you were to ship code based on this proposal, you would be
at risk when users install both WSAD (version 4.0 included) and your product
into the same IDE.
We will probably also adopt the appending of Versions to the plugin
directory like the Workbench is doing. So, the final install directory will
be something like:
org.eclipse.gef_2_0

WSAD 5.0 is based on Eclipse 2.0, but GEF is essentially a core component
like the rest of Eclipse, so it must freeze early.

Hi Randy,
Thank you very much for your quick response. But I want to ask another
question. When do you expect a semi-stable version which means packages
renamed to the new structure and a mostly stable featurelist. As I
stated in an previous posting I'm thinking about developing an uml
Application for the moment and it would be nice If I could get an idea
about the rougth timeframe til end of may.
Do you think it's possible to get a look on the new Structure which may
be bug loaded till mid of June ? It would be very nice for my upcoming
considerations.
If you want to discuss any questions per private mail you can reach me
at leika.list@gmx.de or leika@gmx.de.

We aren't bug hunting, we're doing accessibility. We are swamped right now
and won't do a rename until probably mid-June.
When the rename does occur, if you have GEF loaded as source, you can
perform the rename yourself using Refactoring. This will have the effect of
fixing ALL of your imports in your project. Then you can delete GEF and
load the renamed one.
I don't think a package rename is a reason to delay development, just
distribution.

The plugin ID will not change, only the version number.
The physical location of the plugin will be the directory
PLUGINNAME+"_"+VERSION
The allows a user to have different tools which use different versions of
GEF. If GEF always installed to the same location, you would get a
last-one-in wins scenario, along with random resources, etc.
