Hello,

I have created an RCP application with E4 Application model, it's work fine but when a i try to get some Workbench ressources i get a java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet.

For example when calling

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay();

from what I read this is due to the lazy instantiation, Can someone tell me how to instantiate the workbench, I need to impélmentation some selection Dialog

Trace

Did you ever get an answer to this or figure out how to resolve it? I am having the same issue and would like to know how you worked around it. Much appreciated....

Hi,

The PlatformUI.getWorkbench() is a Eclipse 3.x method. If you are in a pure E4 application, you must not depend on org.eclipse.ui and you will not be able to call this method.

If you need to get the Display or current IWorkbench (which would be an E4 workbench), you must inject it where you need it, or you can get the Display using Display.getCurrent().

I am injecting the E4 Workbench (org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench), but I still get a "Workbench has not been created yet". Is there anything else you have to do other than injecting it?
Thanks.
