Hi
I've almost got common navigator working in rcp using a couple of GMF
editors. There are two minor issues, first one I recall being a feature?
1. When running the RCP for the first time I need to restart RCP in
order for NavigatorRoot to be defined and show content (toggling the
content off/on in the content customization has same effect). All
subsequent launches the RCP works 'fine', shows content and updates
model content.(after manually refreshing)
2. This is the more annoying one, I have to first manually right click
refresh on the common navigator view (which is installed in my default
perspective layout at launch). There doesn't appear to be an easy way to
access the cnf view to call refresh. I currently do setfocus() followed
by refresh() in my CNF getInitialInput() method, I then use the ID to
plug into my layout, however this doesn't work.
Are there any workarounds/solns for these niggles?
regards
Steve

I managed to resolve problem 2, just problem 1. When I launch the rcp
for the first time I shut it down straight away and relaunch and
everything works fine.

Can you clarify what you mean by launching the first time? Do you have
an empty workspace the first time, or is there something there? If you
can make this happen with a snippet of code, can you post that so I can
reproduce it?
