Hello,
I am building a Plugin that does some additional custom compilation
stuff to our projects. The builder needs to know about some dependencies
(read: some folders located elsewhere on disk). To give the user a
better overview over what he is working on, I'd like to show these
dependencies - and perhaps even the actual directory tree they reside in
- in some kind of explorer view. As an example, take the "JRE System
Library" from JDT's Package Explorer.
Just linking these dependencies as folders is not an option, as they may
not be visible to anyone but the user and my builder.
I don't nesseccarily want to create a new view to show this, as I'm
basically just supporting other Plugins that already have some way of
exploring projects. I'd rather just extend one of the existing
Exploration-Views (Package Explorer, Navigator, Project Explorer, ...?)
to show my custom stuff. From what I've read about CNF up to now, I
gathered that it may be possible to add extensions to the Project
Explorer. Unfortunately I cannot find the name of the extension point I
have to bind my contributions to.
So, did I get this right? If yes, where would I have to bind my
viewerContentBinding to?
Regards
Damian Philipp

while researching a different issue I stumbled upon an E-Mail that had
the name of the extension point. So, for everyone looking with google:
If you want to extend the Project Explorer to show additional custom
contents you need to bind to the extension point
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer .
