[Databinding] EL support in JFace Databinding? [message #333365]

Coming from the Swing BeansBinding, I am used to being able to use EL
expression when doing binding, e.g.
"myProperty.itsProperty.anotherNestedChildProperty".

I cannot find the equivalent way of doing it in JFace databinding...it
seems you have to create the observables on the "final" object in this
hierarchy...there's no way to specify a nested hierarchy via an EL
expression.

I offer this functionality in my Java SwingBuilder library:
http://code.google.com/p/javabuilders/wiki/JavaBuilderDataBi nding

and would like to offer the same level of functionality in the Java
SWTBuilder I am currently working on.

Thanks
