Plans are to port the remaining parts of the Draw2d and GEF (MVC) 3.8 code base to it after the Juno release, as well as the up to now independently developed Zest2 code base (see [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=372365 bug #372365] for details). | + | [[GEF/GEF4 | GEF4]] is the initial name for the the fourth generation API of the [http://www.eclipse.org/gef Graphical Editing Framework (GEF)].

GEF4 is the initial name for the the fourth generation API of the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It superseded the Draw2d 3.x, GEF (MVC) 3.x, and Zest 1.x legacy components, which are not developed further but only maintained.
With the Oxygen release GEF4 was evolved into GEF 5.0.0, as outlined in 'GEF4 + 1 = GEF 5', while the term 'GEF-Legacy' was established to refer to the legacy production components.
For further information, please consider the GitHub README or the meta-data at projects.eclipse.org.
