I know that I can do something like that:
IObservableMap[] labelMape = BeansObservables.observeMaps(
cp.getKnownElements(), new String[] { "name", "address", "phone" } );
viewer.setLabelProvider(new ObservableMapLabelProvider(labelMaps));
This works if I only want to display some properties of a list of beans.
But what should I do if I want to display calculated values in the viewer or
use an EditingSupport in the columns?

Markus,

We do have ObservableMapCellLabelProvider if this is what you're
thinking about, but it won't help you with calculated values. And since
we don't yet have ComputedMap yet then that won't work either. Probably
the simplest route is to implement a SimpleValueProperty that converts a
birth date to an age:
public class DateAgeProperty extends SimpleValueProperty {
public INativePropertyListener adaptListener( ISimplePropertyListener
listener ) {
return null;
}
protected Object doGetValue( Object source ) {
Date date = (Date) source;
// convert date to age and return
}
protected void doSetValue( Object source, Object value ) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
public Object getValueType() {
return Integer.class;
}
}
Then chain the dateOfBirth and age properties together:
IObservableMap ages = BeanProperties
.value("dateOfBirth")
.value(new DateAgeProperty())
.observeDetail(contentProvider.getKnownElements());

I don't follow you here. Could you elaborate?
