Description Philip Mayer

Build ID: Build id: 20090619-0625

Steps To Reproduce:
There are no public methods to retrieve the domain model elements of a node or edge from the Layout* classes. Thus, it is not possible to take advantage of the domain when creating custom layout algorithms for a particular domain.

I propose to add such methods (getModel()) to LayoutEntity and LayoutRelationship, similar to what we have in GEF.

Sorry for the trouble. The solution is already there; cast getGraphData() to public classes GraphNode and GraphConnection and use getData().
