I am using CNF for a non-RCP plugin and couldn't get my custom navigator to display the content. With your helf I found out, that I didn't specify a viewer for my custom navigator view, which wasn't mentioned in the tutorial I am working on. Glad I found your tut for a second help :) Hey Patrick,

I've coded up an example that should give you an idea how to do this. http://idisk.mac.com/pjpaulin-public/rcpquickstart/cnf-wizard-example.zip Hopefully I'll find some time to blog about this soon :-) --- Patrick Hi Priyanshu,

Thanks Hi,

This should just work out of the box. Perhaps there is some issue with the adapter factory? If you'd like to send me a simple project that duplicates the problem, I'd be happy to take a look. --- Patrick Hi Kathir,

I have created my navigator as explained. And i also included the properties in my perspective. My model objects are adapted to IPropertySource ( i created runtime.adapters extension point ) but when i select anything on the navigator, there is no selection and my adapter factory is never hit. Is there any difference interms of using cnf with properties. Thanks, Kathir. Hi,

It appears that the label provider is getting called when the navigator is attempting to generate the navigator view tooltip (displayed when you hover over the view's tab). The logic appears to be that the a search is made for label providers attached to elements that are valid parents of the input element (NavigatorRoot). But NavigatorRoot has no valid parents, only children, so I'm not sure why the match is being made. The problem may be related to our hacking the navigator class to provide a root object in a non-standard way. This might be a good thing to take up with Francis Upton (the CNF committer) to verify what's supposed to be happening here. --- Patrick Hi Felix,

Everything worked fine, but one thing I either did wrong or not understand: My LabelProvider is called one time with the NavigatorRoot object as the parameter. Thanks for this tutorial.
