Description Allen C Wong CLA 2004-06-10 00:38:30 EDT 
It will be nice if you can add a tree layout manager class, like the 
TreeLayout/BranchLayout in org.eclipse.draw2d.examples.tree since the codes are

The existing tree code in the examples project should be placed in draw2d.graph 
package. The code should be abstracted so that it does not require figures. 
Branches should support multiple styles of layout, with the possibility for 
adding new styles in the future.

Draw2d is only being maintained and we will not add additional features to it (unless provided as contributions). As such, resolving this as WONTFIX.
