Description Steven R. Shaw CLA 2005-09-21 15:19:25 EDT 
Ability to use a tool from the palette that can create multiple elements and 
display on the diagram.  Similar to the full-adder and half-adder palette 
items from the GEF logic example.
Comment 1 Steven R. Shaw CLA 2005-10-06 14:35:44 EDT 
Changing component to "Runtime Diagram"
Comment 2 Steffen Becker CLA 2006-05-12 01:05:53 EDT 
It is additionally a problem of Tooling Definition as you should be able to describe in the tools model or the mapping model that more then a single domain element has to be created. Or is there a code stub generated where one could enter its child creation methods?
Comment 3 Richard Gronback CLA 2006-07-24 09:43:46 EDT 
Can we assign this to 2.0?
Comment 4 Anthony Hunter CLA 2007-06-19 11:29:06 EDT 
Not yet assigned to a release (assigned to a milestone with the Plan keyword).

Moving to the next release, GMF 2.1.
Comment 5 Antoine Toulmé CLA 2007-10-02 05:32:06 EDT 
A "sticky" tool has been implemented in the BPMN modeler.

When selecting a tool it is not deactivated after its use, until the user clicks again on the tool.

implemented? Can't this be achieved using:
toolEntry.setToolProperty("unloadWhenFinished", Boolean.FALSE);
??
Comment 7 Antoine Toulmé CLA 2007-10-23 02:56:37 EDT 
Yes, we use this property.

We go a bit further by using a mouse listener.
When clicking twice on the same tool in the palette, the tool is set as sticky.
