Inter-communication Between Plugins [message #160798]

Hello!
I have build a GEF based graphical editor as an eclipse plugin and a View as
another eclipse plugin. I would like to find a way of communication between
the two
plug-ins. In particular, I want to pass the results that are produced by the
one plug-in (a list of IDs for example) to the other plug-in in order to
make some other kind of processing.

In general the question is how can achieve inter-communication among eclipse
plug-ins.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what you want to do ....
The "inter-communication" is normally achived through dependencies:
The special plugin classloaders "know" the classes from the dependend
plugins. So you can simply share your model between plugins, if you get
your dependencies right.

If you're interested of writing the editor's content to a workspace file
and re-read this from some other point, you may want to take a look at
"ResourcePlugin" and the ResourceChangeListener concept.

Hope that helps

greetings
Florian

you can instantiate a class that a plugin exposes, and pass data in that
way. One plugin can expose an extension point, an the other can make
use of it.

Depends on which way the data is passing and the nature of the
relationship you would like between them. Be more specific about what
you want to happen, and I can give you some tips.
