Extracted core functionality from the browser, so that it can be reused in other plug-ins (see UI Core). This makes it possible to embed model browsing functionality in any view. For example, plug-in infra.browser.uicore.examples.cnf demonstrates how to integrate the model browser in the Project Explorer (using the Common Navigator Framework) :
