[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Unhandled event loop exception (problem

[Vlad Ciubotariu <vcciubot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You cannot do that unfortunately. The GraphicalEditPart.getCommand() wraps
the calls to the edit policies into a read only transaction so you can
read the model. That transaction doesn't allow you to modify the
model. Wrap your SetCommand into an ICommandProxy and return it from the
edit policy.
