Closing editor from a job [message #490162]

I'm trying to close an editor from a job,

IWorkbench wb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow win = wb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage pg = win.getActivePage();
pg.closeEditor(editor, false);

The problem is that from within the job I don't appear to have an ActiveWorkbenchWindow as it is null.

How can I close an editor from within a job?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris

Are you calling it from the UI thread? If not you have to use
Display.syncExec()
