[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: GEF design

["David Michonneau" <david_michonneau@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I already read the redbook and the tutorial.This is great material,
but I'm also looking for information about how the GEF is designed
internally, not only how it should be used. I know that all classes are
javadoc documented, but I wonder if there is any design document describing
the architecture of GEF, the event flows of requests, notifications,  etc..
I found during debugging that it can be quite complex (like for example the
GEF implementation of the undoable property page that listens to the
CommandStack).

Thanks,

David
