Description Silvio Böhler CLA 2004-09-14 19:21:25 EDT 
API Request:

As it is, the method is only useful to find out whether all generic objects of
the adapted class have children or not. 

I have a case where I know in advance that only a subset of my adapted tree
objects have children. I would like to use the adapter such that this
information can be found out for every single object.

Thus, I would like a method on IDeferredWorkbenchAdapter as follows:

public boolean isContainer(Object element);
or
public boolean hasChildren(Object element);

Please feel free to attach a patch if you have a suggested implementation
Comment 2 Michael Valenta CLA 2004-09-15 09:28:51 EDT 
If you do provide a patch, it will need to be defined in yet another sub-
interface because IDeferredWorkbenchAdapter in implemented by clients and 
cannot be changed. Given that this is the case, you may want to investigate 
other solutions. Could you register a different adapter for the non-container 
objects (i.e. it seems to me that you wouldn't want to use deferred fetching 
for non-containers anyway)?

There are currently no plans to work on this feature
Comment 4 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:11:38 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
