[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: RSS Feeds

[Alex Blewitt <alex_blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

The source code is in CVS at sourceforge.net (there's a link from the www.rcpapps.org site). You can see how the RSS feeds are parsed from XML, and the info (title, url etc.) is obtained by querying the XML with XPath. This is then hooked in with the tree viewer component through a TreeContentProvider. The RSSPlugin hooks the main RSS feed up to the RSS view for the feeds defined.

It's in an alpha stage at present (I'll be uploading some new changes in the near future to allow RSS feeds to be non-hardcoded) but the goal for the future is to present a bunch of tutorials on how it was put together. Unfortunately, there's no table view at present, so you'll have to extrapolate from the example, but the principle is the same; use a TableView with a TableContentProvider to achieve the same effect.
