[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Templates in org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef.co

["news.eclipse.org" <artem.tikhomirov@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it's not yet implemented because we didn't see too much interest. 
Definitely, there are plans to allow dynamic templates for figures. Right 
now the main "obstacle" is that we need to specify path to dynamic 
templates, and the usual way to do that is to specify that value in 
genmodel. As there's no genmodel for gmfgraph today, nor too much reasoning 
to have one, I see two ways to enable dynamic templates, "non-persistent" 
and "persistent" - either by quering toolsmith for the path each time on 
generation (which might be tedious) or using appropriate value from the 
.gmfgen (which limits us to the fiugres that are generated as EditPart's 
inner class). You are more than welcome to file a bugzilla and express your 
opinion.

Thank you.

Artem
