[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] is there a preferred RCP mechanism for updating editors based on model-changes caused in a view?

Classic situation:
a palette-like View, which causes changes to the data-model shown in the Editor (e.g., through a
popup-menu item in the View) => how to ensure that the editor updates its display of the model?
Eclipse-PDE solution: resource-changes and a ResourceChangeListener; works fine
Problem: in RCP, no such thing as Resources ... (also, my editor is not a text-editor)
So: is there a preferred alternate in RCP to ResourceChangedListeners? or do I just roll my own set
of model-listeners, etc.? (I'm fine with doing either, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel and
find myself fighting Eclipse; I'd rather work with it!)
thanks,
Paul
Note: these sources did not address the issue:
1) Help in the 3.1 Eclipse
(http://127.0.0.1:51279/help/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/rcp_actions.htm)
2) This newsgroup, although two threads were tantalizing: "Linking View vs Editor(ISelectionProvider
ISelectionListener)" (but my situation does not involve selection), and "How does a view listen to a
editor's action" (which is the inverse of my problem, but the recommended solution depends on making
use of the OutlineView, which seems as far as I can see to contain only SelectionChangedListener stuff)

6) Text Editor RCP example (has no View, so ...)
7) Browser example (is not editable, so ...)
