Release Notes

Technical Requirements

Unzip the distributed zip file inside your eclipse directory. This will create a new directory plugins/com.yworks.eclipse.sample3_<version>.
Copy the jar-file y.jar that is part of your yFiles distribution to the subdirectory plugins/com.yworks.eclipse.sample3_<version>/lib.
Start Eclipse.

The creation wizard [File->New->Other...] can be used to create a new yFiles diagram inside your project.
Opening a yFiles diagram of type .gml, .graphml or .ygf will open the yFiles graph editor for that diagram.
A Properties View will allow you to view and edit the properties of selected graph elements. Choose [Window->Show View->Other...->Basic->Properties] from the menu bar.
Standard operations like undo/redo and clipboard can be used from the eclipse edit menu when the graph editor is active.
When the graph editor has focus, the menu item "Layout Diagram" provides access to some of the yFiles layout algorithms.

Once the graph editor has been installed in the eclipse plugin directory as described above, the plugin including its source code can be imported as an eclipse plugin project.
Choose [File->Import...] from the menu bar. Next, choose "Plug-Ins and Fragments" from the list. On the next page choose Import As "Projects with source folders". On the next page "Add" the yFiles plugin name com.yworks.eclipse.sample3 from the list and "Finish" the dialog.
