I managed to get the children from an adapterfactory using the directly 
accessed root:

CandyBox candyBox = (CandyBox)candyResource.getContents().get(0);
AdapterFactoryContentProvider cp = new
		AdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory);
Object[] obs = cp.getChildren(candyBox);

Which is 'better' than the direct access, since it gives all children no 
matter the type (my example only had one type, Candy).

Is there a way to get the Root element other than the above way? Or is 
using getContents().get(0) the 'correct' way to start walking your tree 
of data?

Not really important, but I'd like to know.
