Having written 2 articles on JFace Databinding, showcasing
Filling TableViewer with 1 Column
Updation of Text Box based on selection in TableViewer and viceversa

The next question arising was how do i handle Images in my LabelProvider as these LabelProviders are not mine.

This article explains Example 2 of JFace Databinding Series wherein we connect the ListViewer Selection to update a Text Box. Any modification on the TextBox also would refresh the ListViewer.

Requirement was similar to the one documented by Jorge Manrubia in this Blog "Comparing EMF Models" Post transformation, we need to validate if the 2 models are still the same. No value has been missed out.

We did attempt to use EMF Compare as documented by JorgeManrubia also. But 1 of our usecases were to handle unordered list whereas EMF Compare Project treated the lists as Ordered List. This if i am not wrong was because somewhere internally even EMF Compare project used the EcoreUtil.compare().

Therefore i started my work based on the solution given by JorgeManrubia and then further extended by Fabian. As i started using it, realised we had attributes that we were not interested in comparing for e.g. timestamp, objectid etc. We also had some features that werent initialised and therefore compare was failing due to that. We also had complex references that were leading to recursive comparison of the objects and getting into endless loops.

This is part of the Google Enabler Series that i am currently working on. Realised that there isnt a good set of Complete GEF Example Set available online covering the width of GEF. This is a complete GEF Example with printing, exporting solutions also included.

This Articles talks about Introduction to JFace Databinding using Window Builder, a GUI Builder from Google (Instantiations).

Herein we have created an Eclipse View containing a List Viewer and display a List of Bills.

Eclipse in Pics, a long pending series always in my thots, took time to visualise.
Pictures talk more than words ... This is an attempt to pictorial represent all the eclipse concepts.

Type Hierarchy View is a Tree Structure, but sometimes a Graphical representation of a view is quickly understood when compared to a Tree Hierarchy. This article reviews a plugin developed by Paul B and published on his blog Paul B's Eclipse Whiteboard

EUREKA EUREKA, This is an accidental finding.

Tree when it was showing 1 column, it was showing the Hierarchy Lines suddenly the same went invisible when we made a Tree with multi column.This article documents the solution for the above problem.
