http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-editor/gef-schema-editor.htmlThe Graphical Editor Framework (GEF) allows developers to take an existing application model and easily create a rich graphical editor. GEF allows a developer to quickly map any existing model to a graphical editing environment.

The graphical environment is the SWT-based drawing plugin Draw2D (which is part of the overall GEF component). The developer can take advantage of the many common operations provided in GEF and/or extend them for the specific domain.

GEF is suitable for creating a wide variety of applications, including: flow builders, GUI builders, UML diagram editors (such as work-flow and class modeling diagrams), and even WYSIWYG text editors like HTML. GEF does not assume that you must build one of these applications and is application domain neutral.
