Hi!

I am stuck with a little problem regarding CNF and the tabbed properties
view. As I have found out, I have to register a contributor in
plugin.xml that has the same id as the CommonViewer. I followed the
Tabbed Properties article on the eclipse site, bit didn't manage to get
it work. Debugging showed that neither the Contributor's nor the
Section's code is actually invoked at any time.

The effect is that I get the properties view showing the well-known
"Properties are not available"

My plugin.xml is like this (only showing relevant parts):

[...]
<view allowMultiple="false"
category="org.example.my.mycat"
class="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator"
icon="icons/application_side_tree.png"
id="org.example.my.mynavigator"
name="My Example Navigator"
restorable="true">
</view>
[...]
<propertyContributor contributorId="org.example.my.mynavigator">
<propertyCategory category="org.example.my.test">
</propertyCategory>
</propertyContributor>
[...]
<propertyTabs contributorId="org.example.my.mynavigator">
<propertyTab
category="org.example.my.test"
id="org.example.my.mynavigator.propertyTab1"
image="icons/item.png"
label="A tab">
</propertyTab>
</propertyTabs>
[...]
<propertySections contributorId="org.example.my.mynavigator">
<propertySection
class="org.example.my.NavPropSection"
id="org.example.my.navisection"
tab="org.example.my.mynavigator.propertyTab1">
</propertySection>
</propertySections>
[...]

Hopefully I didn't miss anything. I have created a contributor class,
but that seems redundant, since it is not registered anywhere in the
plugin.xml. I also tried an approach with an AdapterFactory that didn't
work either.

Can anyone help me? Or point me to the right direction?
That would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Andreas
