[news.eclipse.platform.swt] setSelection on virtual Tree VERY slow

[Jesse Eichar <jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to set the selection on a Virtual JFace TreeViewer (there can 
be 200,000+ items in the tree).  The selection is a more or less random 
distribution through out the tree and can be any number of items.

The naive approach is very slow:

viewer.setSelection ( new StructuredSelection (list), false ) // or true

I was wondering if there is a "virtual" selection so that it doesn't 
need to call setToWidget for every item in the selection.  It could do 
it when the items are being shown instead.

Do I have to implement this?

(Hope this is the correct list)

Thanks,

Jesse
