Editors are best when you want to edit something using the life-cycle of
clean, dirty, save. For your File Browser I would recommend using a
view. You can create a public method in your view and call it after
launching to initialize the TreeViewer. Here is an example:
private void openTreeView(String name, TreeNode root) {
IWorkbenchPage page =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage();
try {
IViewPart part = page.showView(TreeView.ID, name,
IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_CREATE);
TreeView treeView = (TreeView)part;
treeView.initialize(name, root);
page.activate(part);
} catch (PartInitException e) {
logger.error("Error opening TreeView", e);
}
}
