Hi,

Tom is right. We have worked on several kind of Databinding
into UFace project
org.ufacekit.ui.jface.databinding<http://uface.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/org.ufacekit.ui.jface.databinding>
.
It manage :
* observe selection Slider.
* observe mi, max, increment, pageIncrement Slider and Scale.
* observe text of Group, Link (SWT Forms), Item.
* observe tooltipText of Item (CTabItem, MenuItem...).
* observe enabled of Item (ToolItem, MenuItem).
* observe Image of control.

If Tom is agree, perhaps could we do a patch with this binding capabilities?

Regards Angelo
