Plugin details for Flow diagram of Source Control


Santhosh Thenmozhi Rajendran (711910) | asked Mar 01 '10, 5:18 p.m.
Hi,

I have seen an option in RTC to create flow diagram of the streams by right clicking on the source control and select new Flow diagram.

I am building something similar to this, it would be great, if you could direct me to the source code of this flow diagram implementation, I can use this as a reference to implement mine.

Thanks,

The RTC Flow diagram is just an implementation using the Eclipse Graphical
Editing Framework (GEF).

Here's one resource I used and it's referenced links.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-eclipse-gef11/

Unfortunately, one resource I had at
http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/GefDescription is no longer available. But
it looks to be semi-preserved at
http://web.archive.org/web/20080629150607/http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/GefDescription
(Don't miss page 2!)

I would suggest familiarizing yourself with GEF first to see how they
handle MVC because it's a pretty big learning curve. Start simple and then
grow it into your application. It may be overwhelming to try to start from
our existing diagram.

I would not suggest starting from ours, as you'd have to figure out what
parts are coding against GEF, what parts are coding against Jazz Source
control and what parts are glue and work arounds. We had a prototype of
this back in RTC 0.6 before the rewrite in 1.0.1 and I didn't keep a
single line of code even though I was writing the exact same thing.
