Hi,

I am evaluating the new viewer API in JFace that has appeared since
Eclipse 3.2 and I've stumbled upon 2 seemingly similar concepts in the
JFace tree viewer API's:

TreeNodeContentProvider and ITreePathContentProvider

The question is - since both seem to be operating on structures that
make up a tree, what is the use case of either and which one shoul I use
if I need to implement my own tree-like structure viewer.

I know, I can easily do without either, so I guess, what I am asking is
that what are the relative strengths and weaknesses of either approach
so that I could decide which one to use when...
