Integration with GMF editors

• Conflict handling
  • Dawn provides detection and handling mechanisms for conflicts
  • It bases on the CDO conflict mechanisms and provide flexible and intuitive UI to handle conflicts
  • Conflicts are displayed inside the diagram editor. Conflicts that cannot be visualized inside the editor will be show in a special view (Dawn Conflict View; not yet re-implemented)
• generate extension code
  • No change of existing code
  • A dynamic design and a flexible generator will make it possible to “collaboratize” existing GMF editors even if the source is
  • Existing editor do not need to modified
• Network independence (Offline Mode)
  • Using one of the latest CDO features (offline support) Dawn will allow modifying GMF diagrams without a connection to an online repository.
• Authentication/Authorization (not yet implemented; see Bug 319485)
  • Providing a access rights on diagram level will allow you to save for data
  • Additionally the use of the diagram (show, modify, view) will be restrictable. Locking behaviour can also be influenced.
• Locking (not yet re-implemented, see Bug 319486)
  • Dawn will support locking on different hierarchy levels in the GMF diagram
  • Locked objects marked with special visualisations
• WebViewer/WebEditor (not yet re-implemented, see Bug 319487)
  • Dawn provides a web viewer to view changes in the diagram while they are processed in Eclipse
  • it also will support changing the diagram (adding/deleting/manipulating) in a browser
  • this mode allows editing GMF-diagrams on mobile device even if no Java platform is installed

Integration with EMF editors

The inital integration for EMF editor will be covered in Bug 323828
