Are there any examples/snippets available for databinding with a enum
and a Combo?

Thanks

Hi Charlie,

Not that I am aware of, but if you could contribute one that would be great.
Currently, the snippets/examples plug-in does not use Java 1.5 features but
we would change that as soon as we add snippets dealing with enums,
generics, etc.

Attached is a snippet that demonstrates binding an enum to a
ComboViewer. It's pretty simple once you see the keys.

Boris, I've got a patch for the snippets project with this. What
specifics (Project, Component, subject prefix, etc) should I use to
enter the Bugzilla?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the snippet. The "keys" are particularly helpful.

Boris, given that this snippet is available, would you like me to create
an additional snippet?

You could comment on the bugzilla Eric is going to enter (hoping that he
posts the bug id here), or improve on his snippet if you think it can be
improved.

Thanks!
