Please post this question to the newsgroup.
 In short, draw2d connection *only* requires anchors at each end.
 GEF ConnectionEditPart requires EditParts at each end.  You
can create your own EditPart which is not a ConnectionEditPart, but which
uses a Draw2d Connection for its figure.

Hello there,
 
I'm new to Eclipse/GEF/Draw2d - so please
bare with me :-)
 
I want to construct a visual graph with edges,
using GEF/draw2d (and in some way, SWT).
As I've read the documentation classes, I
should use the interface Connection (or more accurately, an implementor
such as PolylineConnection). The problem is that I would like to have some
edges which are "hanging in the air" - that is -> I want to
allow them to not connect to a source or a target (or both!), but connection
must always be connected between two IFigures (such as nodes). Does anyone
have a suggestion on what should I use ?
 
Thanking you in advance,
