Hi Oscar,

I have this method in my WorkbenchWindowAdvisor. Is called every time a
user update the name in the preference page. To achive this i register a
property change listener who call this method, and then i change it.

Probably you only need the (*) part of this code.

public void updateTitleBar() {

IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();
StringBuffer title = new StringBuffer();

IPreferenceStore store = ProyectoJPlugin.getDefault()
.getPreferenceStore();

title.append(store.getString(PreferenceConstants.P_PLATFORM_ NAME)); //(*)
configurer.setTitle(title.toString());

}

best regards,
toño.

Do you have an example ? I have tried to put this method in my view :

public void setPartName(String name) {
this.setPartName(name);
}

then I opened my view in runtime and called my method :

ViewPart view = (ViewPart)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow ().getActivePage().showView(viewID);
view.setPartName(name);

Nothing happened, so an example would be useful

This is a recursive call (BAD).

You probably want
public void setPartName(String name) {
super.setPartName(name)
}

This code doesn't compile (unless you're in view code), since
ViewPart#setPartName(*) is protected. You would normally check that
it's an instance of your class and then cast it to your view class.
