Has anyone an idea of the effort that it will cost to get the
Recorder working with Gmf editors ?
AFAIK (but I may be totally wrong, I didn't try it), graphical events
are not directly visible through SWT event loop, so it would require to
put a listener on the draw2d even loop of the diagram. Then it's just a
matter of writing a few rules to map events to code.
It was pretty easy to start writing the SWT recorder, so I guess it
isn't more complicated to draft a Draw2d/GEF recorder. You just don't
have to overthink it: find a place where to put a listener that will
find events, and then write rules for events. If you're lucky, you can
have your first pieces of recorder (for example selection of an item)
working within a couple of hours.
What are the current "hot" topic on swtbot ? Features that are
currently being developed.
There is no hot topics from our (JBoss/Red Hat) side. I can't speak for
other contributors. We're currently happy of the state of SWTBot and we
don't plan new things.
You'll notice that SWTBot is a community project, and doesn't have a
roadmap. People can come and bring what they want to the project as long
as the community agrees to get it in. So there is no "big plan" and "hot
topics" aren't necessarily known in advance.
If you want to start working on a recorder for Draw2d/GEF, that would
definitely become a hot topic for SWTBot ;)
