PaletteView/OutlineView do not update with nested editors [message #150521]

I have nested GEF editors in a MultiPageEditorPart where one page is a
freeform graphical editor (with flyout palette) and other pages are
graphical editors with a tree and a flyout palette.

The problem I'm having is when I switch between pages in the editor, the
outline page (displaying a thumbnail view of the canvas) and the Palette
view (containing the palette of one of my editors) do not refresh. This is
a problem with the palette view because my editors have different palettes
and the palette view will show the first editor's palette, but when I switch
to the other editor, the palette doesn't change and I have no way to access
the palette for the newly activated editor (unless I close the palette view
which restores the palette to the editor window).

I tried searching around and wasn't able to find any posts that seemed to
resemble the behavior I'm seeing.

I'm using Eclipse/GEF 3.0

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Erik.

PS> Does anyone know why the GEF help says GEF 2.1 and doesn't contain the
3.0 classes? This is a bug I presume?

This is JFace problem, not GEF:

The workaround is to reimplement the palette/outline viewer inside your
compound editor's page.
