I have written an editor and a countent outline page.
Both let the user select elements and I want the selection to
in sync. By adding directly a selection listener to the editor and
to the countent outline page, and than, upon notification, calling
setSelection on the selection provider, leads to an infinite loop,
and besides its not very elegant: I would like the two component
to post the selection, without knowing of each other.

Surely, I miss something about selections in the workbench which
are not well documented.

I would be thankful for any help,
Carlo.

I would like to add to my previous message.
I see each workbench site has a selection provider. What's its role?
Should I implement it and than set it on the site, or should I use it as
I find it on the site? I tried both ways, with no success.
I want to post the selection to the other viewers
of the workbench, avoiding loops or other concerns.

Bye,
Carlo.

The eclipse.tools newsgroup would be the appropriate place for this
