public void dispose()
IContentProviderThe viewer should not be updated during this call, as it is in the process of being disposed.

ITreeContentProvider
The difference between this method and IStructuredContentProvider.getElements
is that getElements is called to obtain the
tree viewer's root elements, whereas getChildren is used
to obtain the children of a given parent element in the tree (including a root).

In this case the tree-structured viewer can't expand
a given node correctly if requested.getParent in interface ITreeContentProviderelement - the elementnull if it

ITreeContentProvider
Intended as an optimization for when the viewer does not
need the actual children. Clients may be able to implement
this more efficiently than getChildren.
hasChildren in interface ITreeContentProviderelement - the elementtrue if the given element has children,
and false if it has no childrenpublic void inputChanged(Viewer viewer, Object oldInput, Object newInput)
IContentProviderA typical use for this method is registering the content provider as a listener to changes on the new input (using model-specific means), and deregistering the viewer from the old input. In response to these change notifications, the content provider should update the viewer (see the add, remove, update and refresh methods on the viewers).
The viewer should not be updated during this call, as it might be in the process of being disposed.
