[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Copy/Paste

[Cherie Revells <crevells@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jörg,

There is copy/paste support in GMF.  See 
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core.  Copy/paste works in the GMF 
Logic Diagram Example.  If you put breakpoints in the CopyOperation and 
PasteOperation classes and try copy/paste in the Logic Diagram Example 
you will see how this works with the model objects in the Logic Diagram.

Are you using a generated diagram editor?  I don't think copy/paste 
works by default in the generated editors and I am not sure if there are 
issues with getting it working in the case of a generated diagram editor.

Regards,
Cherie
