I've starting coverting my swing app to rcp. I've implemented the tree
navigator and want to be able to dbl-click on a name and have the detail
information appear in a form suitable for updating the information....Is
there a good example that shows this? My main questions are passing the
key info from the navigator view to the form, and where is the best place
to make database accesses for the detail data (in the createPartControl or
some other method)? Thanks

If you really want to open the form on a double-click, you're probably
looking at an editor.

Alternatively, you might consider having the information edited in a
separate view. Perhaps, the view could display/edit information about
the currently selected object (sort of like what the properties view
does). Just a thought.
In terms of database access, your best bet is to keep this separate from
the view. I tend to create different plug-ins for each layer of my
application: model, view, data, etc. Your "data" plug-in could contain a
class that's the entry point for data loading. In the end, it depends on
how you access data. If you're using EMF, you'd access data through the
EMF plug-in; if you're using Hibernate, you'd access data through the
Hibernate plug-in. etc.
