Maybe I was not enough clear in my first mail, but for graphical editor I don't mean the standard EMF tree editor (which maybe is enough for a feature model). And, for what i know, pure:variants is not free.

I'd like an editor that allows me to design a feature diagram like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:E-shopFM.jpg

Is it possible, or will be it possible in a future release?

Best regards,

Luca
