See the ComboUpdateModel class and specifically its refreshValueFromMap method. This method is called by AbstractUpdateModel's initialize method to prepare the combo for display. This method calls the WidgetActionUtils.select passing it the combo and the text string of the item to be selected. I too have a combo box / custom widget which was modeled using the ComboUpdateModel and WidgetActionUtils classes and it restores the value previously save in the launch configuration and selects the previously selected item.
