[news.eclipse.modeling.amalgam] Re: multiple diagrams with shared domain

[Richard Gronback <richard.gronback@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

This is really a GMF question, so should be posted on that newsgroup.

You're right that there will be a gmfmap, etc. for each diagram type, if
that's what you're looking to do.  You can always use shortcuts to allow for
elements from various domain models to appear on one diagram, or even use
diagram partitioning to allow one type of diagram to open another.  This is
covered in the book, btw.

Best,
Rich
