JFace label provider overview

Question

Is there any good overview of the JFace label provider framework? The JFace snippets doesn't really explain the relationship between the different generations (pre-3.2, 3.3, 3.4, etc.)

Answer 1

There are a number of good tutorials available. You should know that you need to understand the complete Providerframework (Contentprovider, Labelprovider, Notifications, etc.).

Also, I the architecture between the various Eclipse-Versions barely changed. Are you specifically looking for an Eclipse History?

You'll find plenty on Google. Here are two starting points:

Eclipse Help-Center:

help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/guide/jdt_api_render.htm
