[news.eclipse.platform] IDecoratorManager .getLabelDecorator() returning

[jan@xxxxxxxxxxx (Jan)]

Hi there,

I've built a tree view derived from the TreeViewer and populated with
my own object. Attaching a decorator for the nodes of the tree view works
fine, the objects are decorated as desired.

However, the DecoratorManager wont return a reference to my decorator.
It is defined in the plugin.xml and attached to the tree view via
setLabelProvider() when the view is created.


IDecoratorManager decoratorMgr = 
DDXPlugin.getInstance().getWorkbench().getDecoratorManager();

ILabelDecorator labDecorator = 
decoratorMgr.getLabelDecorator("org.example.demo.views.dsslist.filterednodedecorator");

labDecorator is always null.

Funny thing, because decoratorMgr.getEnabled() returns true!

I guess I'm just missing some initialization telling the DecoratorManager 
about the instance of my Decorator instance.

Any help is appreciated.

regards,
jan
