Hi,

I'd like to create and open an E4 part programmatically, and I found several code snippets for doing this, e.g.

(1) http://blog.vogella.com/2010/12/07/eclipse-e4-create-a-new-part-dynamically/
(2) http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Snippets#Open_a_part_dynamically

What's the recommended way to do this with e(fx)clipse? I'd like to get a JavaFX Pane injected into the contribution class, which does not work using the first code snippet, for instance (I get a "no actual value was found for the argument 'StackPane'" error).

Thanks,
Uwe

Both should work just fine! The org.eclipse.fx.testcases.e4 adds a part
using this strategy and it works just fine.
