Eclipse Plugin/Product CommonNavigator

I am trying to build a plugin/product based on common navigator; 1. Subclassed CommonNavigator 2. Defined view in plugin.xml 3. Added view in perspectiveExtension 4. Defined Navigator content as;

      <navigatorContent
        contentProvider=".views.providers.ImageBankContentProvider"
        id=".views.providers.ImageBankContentProvider"
        labelProvider=".views.providers.ImageBankContentLabelProvider"
        name="name">
        <enablement>
            <instanceof value="org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPath" />
        </enablement>            
     </navigatorContent>

and the navigator list file structure, my problem is i want add Virtual resources in file tree, grouping file under virtual folders.

Q1, How will i do it? Q2, Since it will be a product which do not have a concept of project, i need to provide a mechanism to import filesyetm into common navigator view, How to do that?

Take a look at the 5 articles by MICHAEL D. ELDER - http://scribbledideas.blogspot.com/2006/06/ - although they are rather old, they are still current.

UPDATE: As @Zafar rightly noted, I forgot the last important article by Simon Zambrovski which talks about "Minimal non-resource based CNF viewer". This article also includes a number of good references at the botton. Sorry about missing link...
