Adam,
One guess would be that the type used to add the details tab doesn't match
the one being returned by the object in the tree. You could set a
breakpoint in ObjectTreePanel.getTabbedPane(DatabaseObjectType) to see what
DatabaseObjectType is being used to get the tabbed pane that is displayed
on the right when you click an object in the tree. It must be the same as
the one you used to register the details tab with the ObjectTree for your
details tab to be displayed and populated.
