Re: [gef-dev] Possible to use GEF outside of Eclipse?

This is not supported. GEF is a UI framework,
and there is enough benefit from leveraging the workbench that we require
its presence.  You'll have to consider RCP, or make the modifications
yourself.

Subject	[gef-dev] Possible to use GEF outside of Eclipse?

I would like to use GEF in my non-eclipse application
and am having a really difficult time finding documentation on how to properly
initialize things.  I found the standalone logic design example, however
it's for an earlier version of GEF and doesn't work.  Currently my
setup code looks like this (I'm starting with the shape editor).  The
problem seems to be when I try and create a PaletteViewer.


  private static void setupApp(final Canvas c) {

    // model
    final ShapesDiagram model = new ShapesDiagram();
    model.addChild(new EllipticalShape());
    model.addChild(new RectangularShape());
    
    // editparts
    final EditPartFactory editPartFactory = new ShapesEditPartFactory();
    final EditPart topEditPart = editPartFactory.createEditPart(null,
model);
    topEditPart.setModel(model);
    
    // edit area            
               
     
    final ShapesEditor editor = new ShapesEditor();
    
    //editor.init(site);
    
    final Canvas editorCanvas = new Canvas(c, SWT.NONE);
    final GridData gd2 = new GridData();
    editorCanvas.setLayoutData(gd2);
    gd2.heightHint = c.getClientArea().height;
    gd2.widthHint = c.getClientArea().width-200;


    //final EditorSite site = new EditorSite(editorReference,
editor, manager.page, descr);
    //part.init(site);
    
    //editor.createPartControl(editorCanvas);

    
    //gvi.setControl(editorCanvas);
    //gvi.setContents(ldep);

    // edit domain
    final EditDomain editDomain = editor.getEditDomain();
  
    // palette 
    final PaletteRoot paletteRoot = ShapesEditorPaletteFactory.createPalette();
    editDomain.setPaletteRoot(paletteRoot);

    final Canvas palette = new Canvas(c, SWT.NONE);
    final GridData gd3 = new GridData();
    gd3.heightHint = c.getClientArea().height;
    gd3.widthHint = 200;
    palette.setLayoutData(gd3);
    //new GEFPlugin(); // do this to initialize preferences that
the PaletteViewer constructor relies upon
//     System.out.println(GEFPlugin.getDefault().getBundle());
    final PaletteViewer pvi = new PaletteViewer();
    pvi.setControl(palette);
    editDomain.setPaletteViewer(pvi);
    
    //final GraphicalViewer gvi = editor.getGraphicalViewer();
    final GraphicalViewer gvi = new GraphicalViewerImpl();
    gvi.setEditPartFactory(editPartFactory);
    gvi.setRootEditPart(new ScalableFreeformRootEditPart());
    gvi.setControl(editorCanvas);
    gvi.setEditDomain(editDomain);
    gvi.setContents(topEditPart);
    
    //editor.configureGraphicalViewer();
    //editor.initializeGraphicalViewer();
    
  }
