if i have a element Object which corresponds to an TreeViewers TreeItem.
How do I set selection on the Tree of the TreeViewer ?
The 2nd step i have already made: getTree() from the treeviewer and call
setSelection() on it. that was the easy part.
but the problem is, how to find the TreeItem i want to be selected if i
just have the element Object (from my Model ) ?
I tried with findItem(Object element) of the TreeViewer but 1st this
is a protected method , so i have to subclass TreeViewer and 2nd this
method simply does not work, because TreeViewer seems not to use its
internal elementMap.
so do i need to write my own version of findItem() in a subclassed
TreeViewer or did i overlooked something, which would be more easy to do?

yes , this also was my first thought , but then i did not understand
what the Interface "ISelection" is good for and how to use it. do my
tree-model elements need to implement this?
the point is that my model is a jdom tree, the jdom.Elemenst correspond
to the TreeItems, so if i want a certain jdom-Element to be selcted i
obviousely can not call setSelection(jdom.Element_obj, boolean reveal)
since my the jdom.Elements do not implement ISelection.
hm , i'm confused....

Most JFace viewers (including TreeViewer) use IStructuredSelection,
and there is StructuredSelection, which implements this interface.

And in Bodo's case the code snippet would be:
IStructuredSelection sel = new StructuredSelection(jdom.Element_obj);
tree.setSelection(sel, true);
The important part is that the object given to StructuredSelection must be
equal() to one of the items of the tree for a selection to be shown in the
tree. I.e. either you must use the same objects to create the
StructuredSelection that are in the tree (selectedObj == treeItem) or the
item must implement equals (selectedObj.equals(treeItem)).

it works! thank you Lauri!
the doc is not very exhausive in this regard, nor are the examples, are
they ? and diggin in the eclipse source is somehow painfull.
