Hi

If you want to play with a GEGL operation within the context of GIMP the
easiest way is currently to use the Tools -> GEGL Operation.. tool.

If you are working in a simple point-filter then yes, it should be
fairly easy to get such a filter to work in a Color-tool like way.

The final GEGL based plug-in architecture is yet to be designed and written.

Some key files:
app/tools/gimpgegltool.c
app/core/gimpimagemap.c
app/gegl/*
