Can anyone please post an example of how to use the IWorkbenchAdapter
(WorkbenchLabelProvider) with a TableViewer. I don't understand how to get
more than one label for the various columns, since the IWorkbenchAdapter has
only the getLabel() method.
TIA

Well I do it normally like that, but threre are several ways...
Ctrl-Shift T - open the TypeExplorer
Type in the WorkbenchLabelProvider and open the source for it...
Afterwards search for References Ctrl-Shift-G in workspace..
this will find as well sources in all your dependencies of your plugins.
Another way to do it is that you import all targetPlatform Plugins
into the workspace and search it there
