I'm using ObservableListContentProvider quite a bit for List and Table

Basically, what I really want is a ITreeContentProvider that manages an
IObservableSet that I can then pass to EMFObservables.observeMaps().
In the end, I'm after a label provider for my TreeViewer that behaves
like ObservableMapLabelProvider to automatically update the tree node
labels as the model changes.
Is there another path that I am missing? I looked through the snippets
but didn't find anything that demonstrates a TreeViewer with data binding.
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Eric,
ObservableListTreeContentProvider and ObservableSetTreeContentProvider
landed in 3.4M6, and they take care of the known elements set just like
the existing content providers. The basic usage for these new providers
is to pass an IObservableFactory to the constructor. The
IObservableFactory is responsible for creating an observable collection
of the children of the passed in element. e.g.
ObservableListTreeContentProvider cp =
new ObservableListTreeContentProvider(BeansObservables.listFacto ry(
realm, "children", MyBean.class));
Any IObservableFactory will do as long as it produces the correct type
of collection for the content provider you use. You could just as
easily use EMFObservables.listFactory(Realm, EStructuralFeature) for
example.
Both tree content providers have a getKnownElements() method just like
Observable(List|Set)ContentProvider so the label provider code should be
pretty much the same:
IObservableMap[] labelMape = BeansObservables.observeMaps(
cp.getKnownElements(),
new String[] { "name", "address", "phone" } );
viewer.setLabelProvider(new ObservableMapLabelProvider(labelMaps));
You may want to take a look at Snippet019TreeViewerWithListFactory.java
in the databinding examples plugin.

One more detail: ObservableListTreeContentProvider and
ObservableSetTreeContentProvider have two constructor arguments, not
one. The second is a TreeStructureAdvisor, and may be null. Thus:
ObservableListTreeContentProvider cp =
new ObservableListTreeContentProvider(
BeansObservables.listFactory(realm, "children", MyBean.class),
null);

Matthew,
Thanks for the pointers. This all looks to be new to 3.4, correct?
Unfortunately, our project will (initially) ship on 3.3, so I have to
find a solution that is backwards compatible. It sounds as if there
would be a lot of stuff to copy from 3.4 in order to make this work in
3.3 - probably too much to be practical. Is that a fair analysis?

Eric Databinding from 3.4 should be compatible with 3.3 so simply
replacing the whole bundle could be the way to go.

That's an interesting experiment, for sure. But I'd have to convince The
Powers That Be that the risk is worthwhile, being so close to our
project's RC1 build. It would require extensive regression testing of
all our UI, as we make extensive use of data binding.
So if upgrading to the 3.4 data binding is not an option, is there any
help to make it simpler to roll my own databinding-aware tree content
provider?

You could just grab the code from CVS head and copy it to your project.
You'll need ObservableCollectionTreeContentProvider,
Observable(List|Set)TreeContentProvider, TreeViewerUpdater,
ObservableViewerElementSet, ViewerElementSet, and ViewerElementMap.
There may be some other dependencies but those are all that come to mind.
