Re: [gmf-dev] How to represent aggregation like in UML diagrams

[Richard Gronback <richard.gronback@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please post questions like this to the GMF newsgroup (eclipse.modeling.gmf).
You might consider searching Google for "eclipse GMF phantom" as it's
possible to use a link to represent a containment reference (so-called
"phantom" nodes).  I'm assuming you mean strong aggregation (aka
composition).
