How to bind Document to TextViewer input [message #677276]

Is there any way to bind the input of a TextViewer to, say, a "Document" valued bean property? The documentation seems to suggest that it's possible, but the implementation (0.9.0.r36x201105061245) seems to only allow binding to things that implement IObservableList (as if it was binding for a table, not a TextViewer).

Manually generating a binding to "input" works fine (though WindowBuilder doesn't parse it).

Is this something that should be possible?

Thanks.

TextViewer has setter setDocument(IDocument) that sets the given document as the text viewer's model. It's task for property manipulation, and not beans bindings.
PS WB actually work only with simple property types (IDocument type not supported).
