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