I am using Eclipse Juno release, Build id: 20120614-1722 on Mac OS. The Graphiti version is 0.10. Seems Graphiti requires org.eclipse.ui as dependency so that it cannot be integrated with e4. (I could be wrong, please feel free to shoot me down) Here's my observation 1. use Eclipse wizard to create a "plugin project" 2. on the second page of plugin creation wizard, uncheck "Generate an activator ..." 3. on the third page, choose "Plug-in with a Graphiti Editor" as template 4. Press finish. Check MANIFEST.MF of the created plugin. It already has 3 dependencies, including "org.eclipse.ui" which is apparently not e4-friendly. my e4 product is feature based, as below. <features> <feature id="my.own.feature" version="1.0.0.qualifier"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.e4.rcp"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.emf.ecore"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.emf.common"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.platform"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.help"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.feature"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.rcp.feature"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.user.ui"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.rcp"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.extras.feature"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.feature"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.export.feature"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.feature.tools"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.sdk.feature"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.feature.tools.source"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.feature.examples"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.feature.examples.source"/> <feature id="org.eclipse.graphiti.source.feature"/> </features> I of course need to add the created plugin to my.own.feature. After the product is launched inside Eclipse, the Graphiti editor plugin cannot run. I posted the question at Graphiti forum http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/369969/ Can anyone please either confirm this as a bug (ideally provide a possible fix date estimation if possible) or provide any suggestions as a fix or work around? Thanks a lot! Johnny
Will need a closer look...
There are various issues involved here, I will create separate bugs for.
New plug-in with Graphiti editor wizard adds not needed dependency to org.eclipse.ui
Optional dependency to org.eclipse.ui.ide is needed for two imports: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388213
Dependency to org.eclipse.ui.navigator brings in org.eclipse.ui: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388214
Dependency to org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed brings in org.eclipse.ui: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388220
Dependency to org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui brings in org.eclipse.ui: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388225

Some of them are easy to fix and are already flagged for both Juno (SR1) and Kepler. The rest might require restructuring of Graphiti's UI bundle and feature. I'm not sure if that will fit into the Kepler timeframe. Even if we have that restructuring ready it might turn out that there are issues with running a GEF editor inside an e4 RCP app.
Back to inbox, will work on sub topics
The overall topic needs to be moved after the Kepler release, because to get a complete e4 support in Graphiti we will need a GEF version supporting e4; this will come only with GEF4.
This Bug is a few years old... Is There anything new ?
While GEF4 is available now (already for quite a while) I have to state that there are unfortunatly no news on this topic on Graphiti side. Michael
Are there any news on this topic?
Sorry, unfortunately no news on this. And given that I do not have much time to spend on Graphiti, I actually do not see a good chance to work on this. Michael
