<h1>New Graphit Plug-in Wizard</h1> | |
<p> | |
This wizard has been introduced with Graphiti 0.9.0 and allows the | |
creation of a new Eclipse plug-in project containing a basic Graphiti | |
editor. It is integrated in the <i>New Plug-in Project Wizard</i> | |
provided by Eclipse PDE and can be started via <i>File --> New --> | |
Project... --> Plug-in Development --> Plug-in Project</i>. The user can | |
specify the name along with the other settings for the new plug-in | |
project and on the third page of the wizard select the template <i>Plug-in | |
with a Graphiti Editor</i>. | |
</p> | |

<p>On the next page, the user can change the pre-filled definitions | |
of the Graphiti Diagram Type, Diagram Type Provider and Feature | |
Provider to be created. The initial values proposed there are derived | |
from the name of the plug-in project.</p> | |

<p>After finishing the wizard a new plug-in is created containing | |
the definitions and basic implementation classes for a new Graphiti | |
diagram editor that allows the creation of new shapes and connections | |
between shapes. The shapes and connections are not yet linked to any | |
domain objects but offer a good starting point for building a real | |
editor. The user may simply start a Eclipse Application as runtime for | |
this and simply create a new Graphiti diagram with the new type by | |
using the Graphiti New Diagram Wizard that comes as part of the | |
examples.</p> | |
