When a beginner learns GEF, GEF configuration is a waste of time. There are many methods and blogs, and GEF configuration fails many times. Finally, the reason is found.
The best link method for Eclipse plug-in configuration is:
Step 1: First decompress the GEF plug-in package into two folders: Features and Plugins. Create the folder GEF under the eclipse root directory, and add features and plugins to it.
\ Eclipse \ GEF \ eclipse \ features
\ Eclipse \ GEF \ eclipse \ plugins
Step 2: Create a links folder under the eclipse root directory. The name cannot be modified and the GEF. Link file is created.
Eclipse \ links \ GEF. Link
Part 3: Write the path of the GEF folder in the GEF. Link file:
You can use relative paths or absolute paths. The relative path is used here. In the GEF. Link file, you only need to write "Path =./GEF"
Part 4: Delete the org. Eclipse. Update folder and restart eclipse
\ Eclipse \ Configuration \ org. Eclipse. Update
