Open resource set for view instead of editor [message #468223]

Instead of opening a resource set into an editor I'd like to open it for a
specific view with a tree viewer. Then I'd like to be able to launch an
editor for each tree node (by double clicking it for example). I could do
this using RCP methods but I'd really like to keep my code inline with EMF
best practices and I can't figure out how to take the code from the
generated editor and apply it to a view.

Greg,

Will your view support modification of what's being viewed or is it
strictly a read only viewer? In the latter case, just create a new
ResourceSetImpl and load your data into that. The editor shows how to
set up a tree viewer with content and label providers as well as the
adapter factory that drives them. If you need full editing, you'll want
to create an adapter factory editing domain...
