Tom, in one word "sweet!!' I'd been working on wiring up the listeners but 
I'm just not a databinding guru. I've just taken a look at how you are 
wiring up the controls/model and love it...this is a pattern we can make 
great use of. 

I'm switching over to using it but I can'tfind SWT text observables for 
'Items' (i.e. MenuItem, ToolbarItem, CTabItem). I'll make a quick patch 
that adds them (a quick look a 'observeText' shows that this is fairly 
trivial).

Nice one,
Eric

I'd certainly like to see this. In particular, when we have talked 
publically about how e4 would be more dynamic/responsive to develop for, 
this was the kind of thing we had in mind.

I'd argue that it's worth thinking about it soon, since there are 
potentially interesting issues w.r.t. state management, SWT widget 
lifecycle, etc.

... and if we end up with a "destroy and recreate" model, we need to do a 
better job of maintaining state than we currently do (e.g. it's not ok for 
the tree to be recreated with all the nodes collapsed, etc.)
