Installing this plugin
This plugin is not shipped in any distribution. You must manually install it on an EasyEclipse distribution.
The dependent plugins Eclipse Java Development Tools, Plugin Development Environment and Eclipse Modeling Tools must be present in the EasyEclipse distribution you use, or must be installed separately.
Getting started
Help is available for this plugin, in the Help > Help Contents menu in EasyEclipse.
The GMF plugin comes with extensive documentation; a very good tutorial is available on Eclipse website (see the Link section for URLs). Note that GMF makes heavy use of the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF); although the use of EMF is transparent at first, it is useful to understand how it works.

I downloaded the plugin, for windows, installed it, and received several write errors on gif files??
Could you tell me what platform you are on (Windows Linux or Mac) ? I think we tested this thoroughly but there may be a platform-specific problem. Also could you find the exact error you got ?
thanks
Same problem. I have installed “Eclipse Java Development Tools”, “Plugin Development Environment” and “Eclipse Modeling Tools” in the order, on EasyEclipse Desktop 1.2.1 on XP.
Most of these problematic GIFs are in extensions\eclipse-gmf-1.0.1\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.gmf.examples.source_1.0.1.v20060907-1100\src\org.eclipse.gmf.examples.runtime.diagram.logic.model.edit_1.0.1.v20060925-1700\icons\full\ctool16. Others are somewhere nearby (i.e. in some subdirectory in the “example” directory).
I have entered a bug to track that: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1649145&group_id=131065&atid=719795
Thanks for the comment: it helped big time finding the issue.
I had the same problem here, I’m installing this plugin over Easy Eclipse Plugin Warrior 1.2.1 and (during installation) get a few warnings about GIFs which the installer cannot ‘open for writing’.
Are you sure you installed first the listed requirements? Like the “Eclipse modeling tools” ?
Installing on Win2kPro, same problem with gif files. I installed the modeling tools plugin first. My starting distibution is the desktop.
Ok now I think I understand the cause, there is a an issue with a path length beeing too long for Windows ANSI API to understand.
I have entered a bug for that here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1649145&group_id=131065&atid=719795
Can someone please shorten the path length in this distribution so it will install properly on windows?
I’ve found with a problem with this plugin, it’s that the component JSpinner is not implemented, and i use it really much. So i’d like someone to add this bean to the plugin. Other components work perfectly. Thanks.
GMF SDK isn’t fully installed - there are no cheat sheets and examples that come with the SDK.
Had the same problem with GIF files btw
Is there a work around for the current GIF files issue?
