My EMF domain looks something like this:

Bookstore {
  Book[] books
  ...
}

How do I bind an instance of Bookstore, which is my top level object to the input of a JFace viewer?
i.e.,

<ListViewer input="{Binding Path=this}">

Rather than

// this works
<ListViewer input="{Binding Path=books}">

Thanks,

You would have to introduce a wrapper (domain) class and use an instance of that as your data context. You can either model this explicitly (if your Bookstore has no container) or create a simple POJO/Bean:

class BookstoreWrapper {
Bookstore bookstore;
...
}

Keep in mind that a ListViewer is suited to showing one of many options in a list.
I assume you have multiple Bookstores that have to be shown in the ListViewer?
