Most of the plug-ins that were moved to GMF had a namespace change from “com.ibm.xtools” to “org.eclipse.gmf.runtime”. Many of the renamed plug-ins have more public API exposed and packages that were previously internal are now public.
The packages from the previous version of the Rational UML modeling products that now exist in GMF are listed in the following table:
| Packages moved to the GMF component | Package new name |
|---|---|
| com.ibm.xtools.common.core.service | org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.service |
| com.ibm.xtools.common.core.util | org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.core.util |
| com.ibm.xtools.common.ui.services.properties | org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.properties |
| com.ibm.xtools.notation | org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.notation |
| com.ibm.xtools.presentation.services.decorator | org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.services.decorator |
| com.ibm.xtools.presentation.services.layout | org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.services.layout |
| com.ibm.xtools.presentation.ui.image | org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.image |
