Re: [gef-dev] GEF support in pure e4 applications
|
Hi Alexander,
Thank you for the speedy and informative answer. We've put a cc on
the bug so that we're kept up to date.
Best regards,
Raimar

Hallo Raimar,
the current GEF version has hard coded dependencies to the
3.x Workbench UI, which prevents it from being used in the
context of e4 application without compatibility layer. It would
in principle be possible to extract the parts of GEF 3.x that do
not have dependencies on the 3.x Workbench UI and make them
usable in the context of native e4 applications, but this
collides with the API retention policy of the project. As such,
the answer to your first question is IMHO: not at all.
Directly following this, the answer to your second question
would IMHO be: yes. I have created a bug ( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=372171)
were we will post updates as soon as work on this is started.
However, up to now there is still a long way to go for us until
we can reach this point, as we will have to complete work on all
rendering related components of GEF4 (the replacements for
Draw2d) before we can start working on the MVC related parts.
All work that is being performed is tracked via Bugzillas and is
in addition documented on http://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF/GEF4,
so you may want to take at look there from time to time as well.
Work is going on slow but steady...
Cheers
Alexander
Hi,
we (the Jubula team) are currently working on our support
for testing e4 applications, both with and without compat
layer. For e3 applications, we already support GEF figures
in the canvas. Our research up until now suggests that we
will also be able to extend this support to e4
applications with compat layer so that GEF figures can be
tested in e4+compat applications. However, we've not been
able to find any information on whether GEF itself is
available for pure e4 applications (i.e. without the
compat layer). Can you give us any information on this?
- Does it work completely / partially (with which
issues) / not at all?
- Are you recommending to GEF users that they remain
with the compat layer until GEF4, or that they can use
pure e4 applications with the current GEF version?
If it's available and supported, then we'd like to add
support for it now. If not, then we'll wait until GEF4.
Thanks for any information you can give us,
Raimar
