Hello,

If your goal is to draw something (a line) in a Composite added to a page 
of an editor or anywhere else you need to add a PaintListener to your 
composite:

..
composite.addPaintListener(new PaintListener() {

  public void paintControl(PaintEvent event) (
     GC gc = event.gc;
     gc.drawLine(0,0,200,200);
  )
  });

The GC to use is the one provided by the PaintEvent instance.

Hope this helps you
Jerome
