Re: [henshin-dev] Eclipse Oxygen incompatibility

[Alessio Di Sandro <adisandro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel,

Although my patch fixes the issue, the main problem is still the
disappearance of the GMF Tooling project.
They did move some of its code in Papyrus, but only the bare minimum
to support already existing GMF-generated diagrams. That is, the GMF
plugins to support gmftool/gmfgraph/gmfmap/gmfgen are not in Eclipse
any more, and one can't modify and regenerate any GMF diagram that
way. As far as I understand, you either modify the code directly, or
migrate to Sirius.

I'm planning to write to the GMF lead person (http://pcdavid.net/) and
ask about their plans.
