<p>GEF (MVC) is interactive model-view-controler framework, which fosters the implementation of SWT-based tree 
and Draw2d-based graphical editors for the Eclipse Workbench UI.</p>

<img class="displayed" width="400" src="/gef/gef_mvc/images/Logic_Example.png" alt="GEF Snapshots" border="0"/>

<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>
The GEF (MVC) plug-in adds editing behavior on top of SWT (Tree, TreeItem) or Draw2d and allows to create rich tree-based and graphical 
editors for the Eclipse Workbench UI. The purpose of this framework is to:
<ul>
<li>Facilitate the display of any model graphically (using SWT Tree/TreeItem or Draw2d figures)</li>
<li>Handle all kind of interactions originating from mouse and keyboard events.</li>
<li>Provide a integration with the Eclipse Workbench UI (toolbar, outline, property view)</li>
</ul>
</p><p>
GEF is completely application neutral and provides the groundwork to build almost any editor application, including but not limited to: 
activity diagrams, GUI builders, class diagram editors, state machines, and even WYSIWYG text editors.
</p>

<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Tools like Selection, Creation, Connection and Marquee tools&nbsp;</li>
<li>A Palette for displaying those tools&nbsp;</li>
<li>Handles for resizing objects and bending connections&nbsp;</li>
<li>Two types of GEF Viewers (Graphical and Tree)&nbsp;</li>
<li>A Controller framework for mapping the business Model to a View&nbsp;</li>
<li>Plug-in policies for mapping interactions with the view to changes in the
model&nbsp;</li>
<li>Various implementations for showing feedback and adding selection handles&nbsp;</li>
<li>Various request types and tools or actions that send these requests to
the controllers&nbsp;</li>
<li>Undo/Redo support via Commands and a CommandStack</li>
</ul>
