I worked today on using the Common Navigator in Eclipse to provide a central place for reference data management. Our RCP application consists of several (rather independent) business applications, each of which wants to have an administrative area to configure stem data. To bring all that together, i tried to use the Common Navigator Framework.
It's really tough, the learning curve, as you need to do at least 10 steps to just let some simple entries appear. But it's worth it.
Michael D. Elder has some really good tutorials on the Common Navigator, check them out!
After i fiddled with the Navigator's setup, the content provider and the binding stuff, I could easy add some actions to the context menu of my business domain objects. I know, this would have been a perfect job for EMF.
