/**
* An adapter on an SWT {@link org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control} that manages the
* {@link org.eclipse.gef.EditPart EditParts}. The viewer is responsible for the
* editpart lifecycle. Editparts have visuals, such as
* TreeItems or Figures, which are hosted by the
* viewer and its control. The viewer provides targeting of editparts via their
* visuals.
*
*
* A viewer is a {@link org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ISelectionProvider}. It
* maintains a list of selected editparts. The last member of this list is the
* primary member of the selection. The list should never be empty; when
* no editparts are selected, the viewer's contents editpart is used.
*
*
* A viewer is populated by setting its contents. This can be done by
* passing the model corresponding to the contents. The viewer's
* {@link org.eclipse.gef.EditPartFactory EditPartFactory} is then used to
* create the contents editpart, and add it to the root editpart.
* Alternatively, the contents editpart itself can be provided. Once the
* contents editpart is parented, it will populate the rest of the viewer by
* calling its {@link EditPart#refresh()} method.
*
*
* The Root editpart does not correspond to anything in the model, it is used to
* bootstrap the viewer, and to parent the contents. Depending on the type of
* viewer being used, it may be common to replace the root editpart. See
* implementations of {@link org.eclipse.gef.RootEditPart}.
*
*
* An editpart's lifecycle is managed by the viewer. When the Viewer is
* realized, meaning it has an SWT Control, it activates its root,
* which in turn activates all editparts. Editparts are deactivated when they
* are removed from the viewer. When the viewer's control is disposed, all
* editparts are similarly deactivated by decativating the root.
*
*
* A Viewer has an arbitrary collection of keyed properties that can be set and
* queried. A value of null is used to remove a key from the
* property map. A viewer will fire property change notification whenever these
* values are updated.
*
*
* WARNING: This interface is not intended to be implemented. Clients should
* extend {@link org.eclipse.gef.ui.parts.AbstractEditPartViewer}.
