Hi,
I use Common Navigator Framework in an RCP app. The user creates
projects and under each project are domain objects which are retrieved
from a DB.
For the content provider methods such as hasChildren(Object element), I
need to know the project to which the passed domain object belongs
(i.e., element argument in hasChildren()).
How does one determine the nav tree path of an element passed to a
content provider?
Thanks, -yo

The objects are not IResource but rather EMF objects retrieved from a
database.

I don't think anyone can answer this question. There isn't a general
way to know the project of an EObject. Certainly one can use
EObject.eResource() to determine the containing resource and
Resource.getURI() to determine that resource's URI. If it's of the form
platform:/resource/ (URI.isPlatformResource() is true) you can map that
to a workspace IResource (as described in the FAQ). In the end though,
I think only you have the specific knowledge to answer your own question.
