[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Creating a selection provider

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to create something (possibly a separate class) that implements
the ISelectionProvider interface. Pass an instance of that class to the
view's site via the setSelectionProvider(ISelectionProvider) method.

FWIW, I'm not sure if the rectangle coordinates makes sense as a
selection (the objects that intersect the rectangle certainly do).

HTH,
