[Richard Gronback <richard.gronback@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Dave,

You should use the example code found in the Amalgam project location, not
GMF: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.amalgam/examples/org.ec
lipse.amalgam.examples.mindmap.diagram/src/org/eclipse/amalgam/examples/mind
map/diagram/edit/parts/TopicEditPart.java?root=Modeling_Project&view=markup

I have no errors in my workspace.  The Rectangle to import is
org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Rectangle;

HTH, 
Rich
