Not sure that I'm "getting it".
I'm wanting to setup the common navigator for central navigation of our RCP
product. I have threee separate clients (internal development teams) for
this central component. I've gone through the contentBinding, actions...
all that jazz. All good. Basically each group can define their own content
extensions. Perfect. Where I get confused in how each group can set their
own initial input into their own models. What I'd like to see if that each
group would contribute one root folder that they could their content.
Something like the following:
+--Group 1 Root
-- Group 1 Content
+--Group 2 Root
-- Group 2 Content
+--Group 3 Root
-- Group 3 Content
I don't want Group 1, 2 ro 3 knowing anything about eachother. How can each
group set their initial content? Is there an example out there? Right now
I've extended CommonNavigator with my own and overridden getInitialInput(),
but that binds everyone together. Is there an example out there somewhere I
can steal from?

BTW, I'm just wanting support for the first use case as described here:

Saying that, in this case, there is only one input, the file system.

I found this two-year-old comment basically describing my issue:
http://rcpquickstart.com/2007/04/25/common-navigator-tutoria l-1-hello-world/#comment-7
Is this use case still not resolved?
