[e4-dev] View in an RCP for working directly with the file system

["Cohen, Tamar (ARC-TI)[Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies Inc. (SGT Inc.)]" <tamar.e.cohen@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi e4-dev,

Please let me know if there is a better newsgroup to post to.

I am working on an e4 based RCP application and as part of it I want to provide the ability to create new files of my file type, and edit them with my editor.  In the past, we have had to use Eclipse Resources (create eclipse projects and the like).  

I am wondering if we have addressed this yet in e4?  I read about the Semantic File System stuff (which seems very cool and SHOULD have really been invented before Curiosity went to Mars …) but I think that there should be baked in support for having a view that reflects the file system (even if it's not always in sync and has a refresh button).

Am I missing something?  Is there already such a view or do I have to roll my own?

Thanks much
