There is one prepared example project containing the sources for this tutorial. It shows more or less the resulting project, which you should have at the end of this tutorial.
Note: it can happen that the code snippets in the tutorial are different from the code in the example project. This means that the example project is outdated. In such a case please tell us, and we will update the example project immediately.
org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.tutorial
This plug-in contains the complete sources for the graphics framework tutorial.
Ensure that plug-ins org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.tutorial and org.eclipse.graphiti.examples.common are installed in your IDE. The latter includes inter alia wizards for project and diagram creation, and a tree.
