[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: Issue of Parent child Realtionship

["Steven Shaw" <steveshaw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This all depends how you visualize your model.  If you visualize the "Tree"
as a single item, then it would be contained as single item in the List .
Otherwise, you would need to consolidate or wrap your model to conform to
the GEF api.

There are number of examples of the getModelChildren api implementation:
org.eclipse.gef.examples.ediagram.outline#ClassifierTreeEditPart
org.eclipse.gef.internal.ui.palette.editparts#PaletteEditPart
