FYI, DataBinding questions are not SWT-specific and belong on the
eclipse.platform newsgroup (which I've copied to this response).
An undecorated implementation of java.util.List does not fire any
notifications when items are added or removed, so it can't be wired up
using DataBinding. I believe you can wrap any java.util.List in a
org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.list.WritableList to get the
behavior you want, but I've never used that myself.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Starting with integration builds created after February 06, '09, you can
also wrap an arbitrary list in an IObservableList as follows:
List list = ... // this is your java.util.List
IObservableList wrappedList =
Properties.selfList(elementType).observe(list);
As Eric noted, java.util.List has no event change notifications so if
you want changes to the list to show up in the viewer, you should make
those changes through the IObservableList wrapper rather than directly
on the wrapped list.
