 SVG-graphics editor.
 
+There are SVG-libraries available to allow rendering of graphics in Java, [http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/ Batik]. This would allow to integrate any graphics
+into Java-GUIs. There is a 
+SVG-Editor freely available, [http://glipssvgeditor.sourceforge.net/ GLIPS] which could
+be used to edit graphics and specify graphical attributes. But this editor has no
+Graph-editing capabilities.
+There are graph-editors like [http://www.jgraph.com JGraph] that allow editing of graphs,
+but are much smaller as GEF and allow easy integration of other Swing or Java2D Components
+into the editor.
