Hey Philippe...

Glad you're making some progress!

As for Expand All, we used to have an Expand All action in DTP 1.5. If you 
take a look in the DataTools CVS repository, you can find it at:

>HEAD/org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity/R1.5/org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui.dse/src/org/eclipse/datatools/connectivity/ui/dse/actions/ExpandAllActionDelegate.java

As a word of caution, this was removed because it is UGLY... It's very 
painful to trigger the tree to expand all of these levels down the line, so 
you'd need to be careful in how you used it. It's very time consuming (and 
process/threads), but it was the best of a bad solution.

It may not play well in 1.6 without some work, but it should get you 
started.

Let me know if you have further questions.
