This might be of some help (or part of the problem):
My view has a "refresh" button. When it is clicked, I create a new
ViewContentProvider (identical to the previous content provider, just a new
object) and update the viewer's content provider with it.
Then I want to traverse the TreeItems and set the expanded state based on
information from the previous expanded elements (retrieved via
viewer.getExpandedElements()).
Does setting the content provider to a new ViewContentProvider create any
problems with the TreeViewer, Tree, or the Tree's TreeItems?
Thanks,

Your best source for answers about JFace is the eclipse.platform newsgroup:
news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.platform
That being said, I think you might need to call the refresh method on the
TreeViewer after you have changed the content provider.

Thanks for your help Veronika. Your suggestion didn't seem to work though.
I'll try posting my problem to eclipse.platform and see what happens.
Here's a copy of the code I'm using (maybe something obvious will jump out
at you :)
public void run() {
// take a snapshot of the current tree expansion
Object[] expandedElements = viewer.getExpandedElements();
// set the new content provider
viewer.setContentProvider(new ViewContentProvider(file));
viewer.refresh(); // suggested to help fix the problem, didn't work
// set the expansion of the new view based on the original snapshot
Tree tree = viewer.getTree();
if (expandedElements.length > 0) {
expandTreeIfNecessary(tree.getItems(), expandedElements);
}
viewer.refresh();
}
private void expandTreeIfNecessary(TreeItem[] treeItems, Object[]
expandedElements) {
for (int i=0; i<treeItems.length; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<expandedElements.length; j++) {
// if the items are a "close enough" match then expand the new TreeItem
if (treeItems[i].getData() instanceof TreeObject &&
expandedElements[j] instanceof TreeObject &&
((TreeObject)treeItems[i].getData()).getFilename().equals((( TreeObject)expan
dedElements[j]).getFilename()) &&
((TreeObject)treeItems[i].getData()).toString().equals(((Tre eObject)expanded
Elements[j]).toString())) {
treeItems[i].setExpanded(true);
// determine if children need to be expanded or not
expandTreeIfNecessary(treeItems[i].getItems(), expandedElements);
// the treeItems[i].getItems() seems problematic as it returns a TreeItem[1]
with a null data object
}
}
}
}
