[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Reuse the navigation view in RCP

[Ketan Padegaonkar <KetanPadegaonkar@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a need to do a similar view, I could have taken the 
navigator/outline view, but dropped the idea.

I find this a simpler solution:

public class MyTreeView extends ViewPart {

//=========================================
  class MyTreeViewContentProvider implements ITreeContentProvider {

  }
//=========================================
  public class MyTreeViewLabelProvider extends LabelProvider {
  }

//=========================================
  public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
   this.treeViewer = new TreeViewer( parent, SWT.MULTI | SWT.H_SCROLL | 
SWT.V_SCROLL );
    this.drillDownAdapter = new DrillDownAdapter( this.treeViewer );

    // set controller
    this.treeViewer.setContentProvider( new MyreeViewContentProvider( ) );
    this.treeViewer.setLabelProvider( new MyTreeViewLabelProvider( ) );

    // publishes events
    getSite( ).setSelectionProvider( this.workflowTreeViewer );

    // set the input
    this.workflowTreeViewer.setInput( someDirectoryObject );
  }
}

	A master programmer passed a novice programmer one
day.  The master noted the novice's preoccupation with
a hand-held computer game.  "Excuse me", he said, "may I
examine it?"
	The novice bolted to attention and handed the
device to the master.  "I see that the device claims to
have three levels of play: Easy, Medium, and Hard", said
the master.  "Yet every such device has another level of
play, where the device seeks not to conquer the human,
nor to be conquered by the human."
	"Pray, great master," implored the novice, "how
does one find this mysterious setting?"
	The master dropped the device to the ground and
crushed it under foot.	And suddenly the novice was
enlightened.
