Project Summary
The Eclipse Graphcal Editing Framwork (GEF) Classic is a mature graphical editing framework for building rich, diagram-based editors on the Eclipse platform. It provides reusable components for MVC-based graphical editors, including figures, edit parts, commands, tools, and interaction logic, and is widely used for creating visual modeling and graphical tooling in Eclipse-based applications.
Main components:
- Draw2d – a lightweight 2D rendering and layout framework for figures and visuals

- Zest – a visualization toolkit for graph-based and network-style diagrams
