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

Please ask on the newsgroup. While GEF
can work with just RCP, that doesn't mean the examples do. Someone has
created a modified shapes example for RCP. Search the newsgroup for more
info.

Can you point me at some documentation on how to do this?
 I've successfully got the RCP templates from Eclipse 3.1 working,
however I don't know how to get the GEF plugins to run from there.  I'd
like to bring up the shapes diagram example inside an RCP application.
 How would one go about getting everything setup properly? 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

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();
   
 }
