Greetings,
In the project explorer, just as in the package explorer, java files will show their methods as children in the tree. Let's say I have a custom file type: a ".me" file. and it has "children"... functions, or whatever.

What APIs should I investigate for contributing those children as leaves in the project explorer tree?

Thanks for guidance.

Marc

Marc,

Look for information about integrating with the Common Navigator Framework.
