public class ListViewer
extends AbstractListViewer

A concrete viewer based on an SWT List control.

This class is not intended to be subclassed. It is designed to be instantiated with a pre-existing SWT List control and configured with a domain-specific content provider, label provider, element filter (optional), and element sorter (optional).

Note that the SWT List control only supports the display of strings, not icons. If you need to show icons for items, use TableViewer instead.
