Is there anyone providing support/evolving this nice project?

Thanks
Simone

Hi Simone,

it's currently not in active development anymore, because I haven't currently a use case where I can use it,
and thus not so much motivation to develop it further. In the last month/year Spray was more a reference
to test new Xtext versions (in this context I am working from time to time on integrating Xcore and switch to the new Xbase API).

There are alternatives with
 - http://eclipse.org/sirius/ that are developed in full time, although it's using GMF instead of Graphiti
 - https://github.com/JanKoehnlein/FXDiagram, JavaFX based

Regards,
Joerg

I can give you a very interesting use case if you want. We are using this tool to develop a tool for software engineering at the University of Manchester.

Simon,

an "interesting use case" means that we need a project we get paid for. Joerg and me are software developers working for a consulting company, and our daily job is to develop projects for customers. This is a full-time job or more which does not allow too much time to spent for projects we cannot use ourselves. At this time, we are involved into projects that are not related to development of graphical editors.
However, you can book us to work on your project and we would happily drive the project. But please understand that spare tome is completely up to us how we spend it.
Joerg, myself and the others would really like to continue the project.

Best wishes,

~Karsten
