Eclipse GEF DOT - Graphviz authoring environment in Eclipse
summary
GEF DOT ships an Eclipse editor plus a JavaFX graph view that renders .dot files by calling the Graphviz executable for layout and image export; it supports DOT’s ~150 attributes, Xtext-based templates and quick fixes, AMF model generation and examples like ANTLR ASTs, DSL-to-graph translations and subgraph layouts. HTML-like labels and some rendering artifacts remain buggy, selection/outline sync is limited, bundling Graphviz is blocked by IP issues, and over 100 Bugzilla items exist with many marked low-hanging fruit for contributors.
