Hello,

what is the scope of an DataBindingContext when I use it in an RCP app?
Can I put all my Bindings in one place or is there a BindingContext for
every Plugin?

thx,

Typically a DataBindingContext has the same scope as the editor or view
it is used for. In the case of wizards, you could use one DBC for the
whole wizard or one for each individual page.

You could do either of these--DataBinding or RCP do not force you one
way or another. However I think you are approaching the problem from
the wrong perspective: you want to consolidate your domain objects (the
model), not bindings. At each point where the UI needs to hook into
your model, create a DBC and create your bindings. When that UI element
is closed, the DBC should be disposed.

Hope this helps,

Matthew
