Re: [gef-dev] Using GEF Plugin As an Library 
[Anthony, thanks for bringing this to my attention -Vineet]

Yes, we are actively working on this.
Around EclipseCon we had gotten the GEF example working on the web, by compiling the Java to ActionScript. The approach did have some limitations and we have instructions online as to get around them.
We are now in the process of considering the whole spectrum of options. In particular using javascript directly. We have learnt alot from the process and will likely be pushing out a note with details on it when the dust settles. In the meantime you can look forward to two more prototypes regarding this.
If you are interested, we would like to get more resources put to this - feel free to e-mail me and I can interested parties to available information regarding this.

Hi Team,
Vineet Sinha was working on the GEF + e4 prototype, he presented at EclipseCon. Last email I saw from him in the e4 newsgroup was back on April 2. A link to his work in progress was here http://www.architexa.com/labs/#gef 

Cheers...

e4 is the experimental next generation of the Eclipse platform. There are a lot of cool technology prototypes. There is someone working on bringing GEF to the web by using a Java -> Flex compiler. I'm not sure the state of this. I managed to use this compiler to compile a simple Zest graph to an SWF file, but more complicated graphs had problems.
The 1.0 version of e4 is expected to ship next June. During the next few months, the e4 team will decide what technologies will get worked on, and this is entirely a resource thing. That is, if someone is willing to work on it, it will get worked on. If you are interested in this, I would suggest 1. signing up to the e4 mailing list, and 2. seeing if you can help with the project. 

Good luck, and thanks for your interest.

cheers,
Ian

      Hello Ian.....Thanks for your useful information....& While
      surfing..I cross over about "e4"..With this we could able to
      develop a GEF application as a web project...is it??..So, intern
      it will convert all the java codes into actionscript. It means,
      finally we could get .swf file of our GEF application????...Is so,
      can I use that .swf file anywhere?

      Am not clear with above things..So...take me to right direction.if
      it wrong....

      Thanks & Regards,

      Just like the Shapes examples has a dependency on GEF, GEF has a
      dependency
      on RCP (the Eclipse Rich Client Platform).  This doesn't mean it
      requires
      Eclipse, but it does require "parts of Eclipse" (these parts are
      known as
      RCP).  This is because GEF requires views, editors, actions, plug-in
      extension, string translations, etc...

      You should be able to craft a target that includes GEF + RCP that
      will give
      you what you need.

      If you are new to RCP development, take a second to google
      "Eclipse Rich
      Client Platform".  You will find a lot of resources to help you.

      cheers,
      ian
