Try something similar to this which forces your updates to be called on 
the proper thread for the SWT widget.

Display display = viewer.getTree().getDisplay();
display.asyncExec (new Runnable () {
	public void run () {
		if (viewer.getTree().isDisposed()) return;
		viewer.setSelection(selection, true);
	}
});
