[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Problem creating link from derived class

[Martin Jacob <mj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christian,

actually Isolator shall be a connection and not a node. I try what u proposed but than I got a node 
instead of a connection.
Please find below my complete .gmfmap file. Do you have any other suggestion?
