I want to bind my UI with my model.
I have a collection of Person (s), each Person being an EMF Object.
I show the details of each person in a table, occasionally adding or removing a person from the collection.
I want to bind my model (which essentially is a list of Person) to my UI (which is just a table with two buttons - add/remove).
I have succeeded doing it, using IObservableList, ObservableListContentProvider and an ObservableMapLabelProvider.
So, I have a WritableList of Person and the content and label provider of the Table is the ObservableListContentProvider and the ObservableMapLabelProvider.
I can add a new Person in the list and the view is automatically updated. I can edit a Person in the table and my list is also automatically updated.
My question is though, is this the correct way of doing it? If yes, what is the purpose of the PersonItemProvider that was generated automatically in EMF.Edit. Can I have the same functionality using the generated code and EList instead of IObservableList, and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance
NP

If it works, it can't really be incorrect. :-P

You could use it instead to induce a tree or table view that updates as
you modify the model..

If you use org.eclipse.emf.databinding.edit.EMFEditObservables the
changes made to the model will be done using commands and your UI will
have undo support.
