I'm getting in to this thread a bit late (the holidays caught up with me) and wanted to say I am interested.
Good comments!!!
We are working on a programming editor that lets kids program visually with blocks like the work MIT and then Lego did.
I tried several ways of getting the job done. Some tests were:
SVG with JavaScript - was slow SVG with XUL in Mozilla - the SVG support was not all there then Batik - would have worked but I found Eclipse
We are currently working on using Eclipse's graphical editing framework GEF. It's working (sorta ;-) ). We still have XML+XSLT=>SVG and I hope to have a view that displays the blocks in SVG in the Eclipse based editor. I'm not sure if we would have the SVG view be editable or just a view that can show variations on the graphics displayed.
I have not done anything with Eclipse's EMF other than look enough to know that GEF/EMF is the way to go.
When (if...) we have something worth looking at, I'll post here.
I'm also iterested in talking with others that are doing SVG with Eclipse. Who is following up?

Hi,
Sketsa is good, I already use it, Tonny! =) I selected Sketsa as my platform during the technology research, so I have tooled around with it, but I haven't really put it through the serious ringer yet, as I am not to that stage.
Thank you for your interest in Sketsa.
Perhaps you two guys could get together and discuss an Eclipse plugin for SVG authoring and/or content creation? The idea of integrating SVG-based UML tools, for instance, is a great one. I know the Eclipse gang has recently released stuff (EMF, for instance), but I have not had time to research what it is or what benefits it brings.
This is very interesting stuff, and when I have time I will look it into detail. My current thought of SVG UML tool that it can't be achived (I could be wrong) using pure SVG eg: since the line connection need to be preserved. However by mix pure svg with some namespace (proprietary/open), the SVG UML tool could preserve the data that is not available in current SVG spec
Thanks Tonny Kohar
