Eclipse’s Graphical Modeling Framework
Okay, so I’ve been on a new project, and I have to build a program to create pipeflow models, everything from common pipes, Elbow joints, T-joints to ports, discreet changes, etc. Fun stuff.
So mucking around with GMF for the past 10 months has proved annoying. Don’t get me wrong, I see a lot of pentential for it, but finding documentation or tutorials on how to pull the programming/API model together with the graphical end of things is hard as hell, and if you do find something, it’s sparse (and that’s generous).
I got a pretty damn good diagram editor up and running… of course the people (within the company) we’re developing it for are going to have a laundry list of stuff they want cuz they never gave us a design document. This was just supposed to be a project with a pot of money to see how far we could get with developing our own tool instead of paying $10k/month for some third party software.
Take a look:
Work has once again consumed my life. Fuck.
