Hi,
We are currently developing a Component Editor using Topcased v1.2 
Modeling Framework.
We've been very pleased with the results we accomplished so far with 
this technology.

However, we are a bit doubtful about the future of the Topcased-MF. 
Particularly, we expected
the stable release of Topcased v2.0 to migrate its technology to GMF.
I've seen the Topcased roadmap 2.0.12 and as far as I understand, at 
least part of the migration
has been cancelled. I would really appreciate if you could comment on this.

I also tried to convert the diagramconfigurator to GMF using Topcased's 
built in facility.
The tool managed to create usable GMF-compliant files, however the 
generated code
has compilation errors.
Concretely, the generated code has missing dependencies on 
org.topcased.draw2d.figures  .
Once I imported the package, it compiled well and I was able to 
successfully launch an Eclipse session.

Nevertheless, the "converted" editor is almost empty. The palette has 
all items, but few of them are functional (can create objects in the 
diagram). Moreover, the few of them that work create objects that have 
dummy figures, and have empty attributes. Further, the objects cannot be 
nested as expected.

I don't know if I'm missing some required steps. I did not customize at 
all the generated GMF diagram configuration.
Do you have some documentation on what the tool is able to convert, what 
is missing, etc?

Finally, do you have (or plan to have) documentation on the migration 
from Topcased 1.x to 2.x? Or to GMF?

Best regards,
Antonio
