Description Mickael Istria

org,eclipse.gmf.runtime.lite.svg is a very useful bundle that contains support for a figure based on a SVG file. It is working quite well and is one of the most powerful way to have custom figures in GMF diagrams.

However, it is hidden inside the GMF Tooling experimental SDK, so that most people don't even know that this figure exists. But there is no dependency on GMF Tooling, nor GMF Runtime, nor GEF; Only draw2d and Batik is required.

We should move it to another component/distribution in order to make it more widely used.

The GMF Runtime already had a SVG figure when the one in the GMF Tooling was introduced. I have no idea why a new SVG figure was introduced rather than using a feature that the GMF Runtime already had.

Is the GMF Runtime SVG figure "org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.draw2d.ui.rendre.awt.internal.svg.SVGImage" ?

I think it is here for the "Pure-GEF diagram generation" that must not depend on GMF Runtime.
I am very doubtful on whether anyone on Earth still use the Pure-GEF diagram generation...

Ah, ok, forgot about the runtime.lite thing.
