[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: gef and draw2d docs

[ra <ra@xxxxxx>]

Hi,
my comment was mainly intended as a provocation to get somebody 
attention. This said, I do feel there is a lack in documentation. IMHO 
documentation should be treated as a first class citizen of the Eclipse 
framework, with its own timetable and milestones. THis said, a question: 
where can I find any type of documentation/tutorial/examples on draw2D 
graph layout?

        Thanks,
                    ra
