public interface ModelViewerProvider

This interface provides access to classes that in turn provide type-safe access to PluginData. PluginData is additional data managed by several model elements (PluginDataContainer). This way the corresponding model elements can easily extended to contain data that is necessary for (service-) plugins. For instance, the escalation handling plugin for the worklist manager needs additional data in the worklist model. To access this data via a nice interface, the worklist model elements can be wrapped by a model viewer.
Model viewer (classes) are identified by a plugin ID for which they are registered. This ID usually equals the ID of the (service-) plugin that uses the model viewer.
