/**
* A viewer is a model-based adapter on a widget.
*
* A viewer can be created as an adapter on a pre-existing control (e.g.,
* creating a ListViewer on an existing List control).
* All viewers also provide a convenience constructor for creating the control.
*
*
* Implementing a concrete viewer typically involves the following steps:
*
*
* - create SWT controls for viewer (in constructor) (optional)
* - initialize SWT controls from input (inputChanged)
* - define viewer-specific update methods
* - support selections (
setSelection, getSelection)
