How to get an instance of the IWorkbenchPart? [message #275532]

Hi.

I'm developing my plugin and now I'm codifying a concrete class
derived from an AbstractJavaLaunchConfigurationDelegate.

In a new method of such concrete class, I need the instance of the
IWorkbenchPart.

How can I get this instance??

Some time ago I worked with an IObjectActionDelegate and then it was easy
to get the WorkbenchPart, because such class has the method
setActivePart(IAction action, IWorkbenchPart targetPart) and a just had to
get thetargetPart.

Any hint will be very helpful.

Thanks.
Rodrigo Pimenta.

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().getActivePart();
this will return current IWorkbenchPart

Ok. Thanks.
But, I tried it and got a Exception.
What could be wrong?
Hugs.

What exception did you get?

Also note that this call must be done from the UI thread. If you're
making this call from a non-UI thread you'll need to do an (a)syncExec
on the display returned by PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay().
