In order for databinding to work, the model has to send notifications
when it changes. EMF models do this automatically, and proper JavaBeans
too (via the PropertyChangeListener interface). So you're in-memory
model of the RSS data should be either one of those or do something else
to send notifications (in which case you'd have to write your own
observables that know how to wire in to those notifications).
Hope this helps,
Eric

Have you looked at the Data Binding Snippets page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFace_Data_Binding/Snippets
I have that project checked out into my workspace so I can easily run
and/or experiment with the code.
Hope this helps,
Eric

If you want to see the code before the 3.5 changes, you can always check
out from the 3.4 maintenance branch. Oops, there is no 3.4 branch for
that project. But there is a R3_4_1 tag, so I guess that would be what
you'd want.
