The Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) from eclipse uses an SWT-based lightweight GUI toolkit to provide a feature-rich framework for creating graphical editors in Eclipse. GEF is application neutral and provides the groundwork to build almost any application, including, but not limited to, charts and graphs, reports, activity diagrams, GUI builders, UML diagram editors, and even WYSIWYG text editors like HTML.
The timeless instant passed. The pendulum reversed its swing. In an empty room, floating amid the fires of a double star twenty thousand lightyears from Earth, a baby opened its eyes and began to cry.
The Web Tools Platform (WTP) project's mission is to provide a common framework for building Web tools for Eclipse and to provide both standard and Java Web tools that build upon the common framework.
