Dual Display - Global SelectionService [message #336051]

Hi there!

In order to provide dual display support for our RCP application, we are considering to use
two WorkbenchWindows that can be used arbitrarily by the user to place views in them (drag&drop
of views is not neccessary).

In order to pass selection events between the two windows, we plan to create a global selection
service that connects the WorkbenchWindow local selection services.

Are there any issues with this approach e.g. with regard to the command framework or any other parts
parts of the platform that are not apparent at a first glance?

Are there any alternatives to dual-display support with RCP that do not involve two workbenches?

Following possible solutions have been ruled out already:
* detached views are not powerful enough
* patches found at http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Improve_multi-monitor_supp ort are not
obviously not maintained anymore
* we cannot wait for e4 ;)

Thnx for the help,

Marcel
