| Using EMF.Edit with a JFace tree viewer [message #999178] |

Hi all,
I try to display my EMF model elements in a JFace tree viewer using generated EMF and EMF.Edit packages.
Following tutorials, I believe I created all necessary objects (the tree viewer, adapter factories, content & label providers).
Connecting to CDO, I also retrieved my EObject element and set it as the tree viewer input.
But I can't get it displayed as the tree root when I launch my e4 RCP application.
Could anyone tell me what's wrong (see attached models and the tree viewer setup source) ?
Regards,
Laurent

Laurent,
None of Root's references are containment references so they won't be
shown as children in the tree, nor will they support child creation.
You can modify the GenFeature properties to display them as children,
but that still leaves the problem of how you create instances for the
Root to reference.

That's just how JFace viewers work. They show the elements return by
the provider for that input. You can creating a new ItemProvider with
your "input" as it's only child and set that as the input...

You'll need to understand it.

You have to think about containment as physical nesting that induces a
tree, verses cross links that induce an arbitrary graph. So it's a
little like asking in HMTL, should I nest the content or create a link
to it? Obviously there are cases where you will want links.
