Working with Eclipse's WorkBench Adapter Mechanism [message #463093]

So I'm trying to make consistent use of the Eclipse's WorkbenchLabelProvider for things other than trees, simple lists and single column tables.

I'm very surprised how challenging this has turned out to be. The problem is that columns can't be populated via WorkbenchLabelProvider()! However, I did find a possible alternative which is the WorkbenchPartLabelProvider(); however, it is not very comparable to WorkbenchLabelProvider because it does not return any kind of Adapter.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Eclipse's adapter mechanism is a solid way to decouple the model and ui and it's a shame if I have to ignore it because it can't handle tables.
