Hi,
I found the solution for myself :-)
The problem was that the object for the nested property was created
*after* the binding. This doesn't work. You *always* have to bind editor
fields to an existing object (event if the fields are hidden).
So long,
Ralf.

That's not 100% true. You could have used a master-observable and change
your code to
class MyEditorPart {
ObservableValue<Person> master = new WritableValue();
// ...
IObservableValue<Person> model = nameProperty.observeDetail(master);
}
This has the advantage that you don't have to rebind if you change the
person eg because another one was selected. I find myself using this
master everytime even if I currently don't change the master because it
gives me much more flexibility.
