SwtBotTree's getNode/getAllItems problem [message #665630]

1. SWTBotTree's getAllItems() returns only first level children. Is there any way to get 2nd/3rd level children?
This problem seems to be discussed at many places. But still the behaviour is the same.

2. I want to select 2nd level node by using,
tree.expandNode(project).getNode(file).select();

Here it can not find the file node. Actually it is present.
I've seen that sometimes it has worked but most of the times it has failed.

Hi Aparna,

This happens because some trees expand in a lazy way(for performance
reasons) on a background thread.

You should be using getTreeItem() instead of getNode() to get around
this problem.

The getNode() is a fast way of accessing the item when you know that the
tree is eagerly populated and don't want the overhead of the waitUntil().
