Calls functionalities of a plugin with another one [message #507802]

Hi Community
I'm a plug-in newbie. I first of all developed a plug-in which extends the eclipse menu. This plug-in has a command. Another existing plug-in in my eclipse environment adds items to a specific workbench view. I want that by clicking on the command of my new plug-in an item must be added to that view. In other words i want my plug-in to call the plug-in responsible for these workbench items so that it adds them to the related workbench view. This view would be active. Can anyone tell me how i can handle?
Thanks for help
Gaetan

Hi Gaetan,

Ugly but quick: make a static method in the view that delivers its instance.
Then you can add whatever view you want.
Better: Implement some kind of listener framework.

other pointers: eclipse databinding, osgi services
