[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Compartment item copy/paste

[shxun@xxxxxxxxxxx (ps )]

Ok, I managed making it work by exploring a little bit deeper. I post the 
steps here in case someone else runs into the same issue.

1). *CompartmentEditPart.java, modify createDefaultEditPolicies() to 
install a new edit policy 
   installEditPolicy(EditPolicy.CONTAINER_ROLE, new 
ContainerEditPolicy());

2). Let *CompartmentEditPart.java implements ISurfaceEditPart(which is an 
gmf internal interface)

3). Fork NotationClipboardOperationHelper.java like the Q and A suggested.

Now here are my new questions, could GMF team do something to
1). move ISurfaceEditPart from internal package to public
2). correct the code in 
NotationClipboardOperationHelper.getSemanticPasteTarget so that no fork is 
needed (since it involves the legal issue if we want to re-distribute GMF 
code)

if they are in the plan, when is it going to happen? Galileo release?

Thanks,
Paul
