Re: [gef-dev] Using GEF Plugin As an Library

Hi Team,

Vineet Sinha was working on the GEF + e4 prototype, he presented at EclipseCon. Last email I saw from him in the e4 newsgroup was back on April 2. A link to his work in progress was here http://www.architexa.com/labs/#gef

Cheers...
Anthony

e4 is the experimental next generation of the Eclipse platform.  There are a lot of cool technology prototypes.  There is someone working on bringing GEF to the web by using a Java -> Flex compiler. I'm not sure the state of this. I managed to use this compiler to compile a simple Zest graph to an SWF file, but more complicated graphs had problems.

The 1.0 version of e4 is expected to ship next June.  During the next few months, the e4 team will decide what technologies will get worked on, and this is entirely a resource thing.  That is, if someone is willing to work on it, it will get worked on.  If you are interested in this, I would suggest 1. signing up to the e4 mailing list, and 2. seeing if you can help with the project.

Good luck, and thanks for your interest.

cheers,
Ian

Hello Ian.....Thanks for your useful information....& While surfing..I cross over about "e4"..With this we could able to develop a GEF application as a web project...is it??..So, intern it will convert all the java codes into actionscript. It means, finally we could get .swf file of our GEF application????...Is so, can I use that .swf file anywhere?

Am not clear with above things..So...take me to right direction.if it wrong....

Thanks & Regards,

Just like the Shapes examples has a dependency on GEF, GEF has a dependency
on RCP (the Eclipse Rich Client Platform).  This doesn't mean it requires
Eclipse, but it does require "parts of Eclipse" (these parts are known as
RCP).  This is because GEF requires views, editors, actions, plug-in
extension, string translations, etc...

You should be able to craft a target that includes GEF + RCP that will give
you what you need.

If you are new to RCP development, take a second to google "Eclipse Rich
Client Platform".  You will find a lot of resources to help you.

cheers,
ian
