Thanks, but the code in the FAQ only shows the view...I am looking to
get the view object itself, based on the given view id. Also, how the
workbench page is gotten? (It's "..." part also that I am looking to
find out.) Thanks very much.
Snippet of code from FAQ:
IWorkbenchPage page = ...;
String id = "org.eclipse.faq.examples.BooksView";
page.showView(id, "1", IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_VISIBLE);
page.showView(id, "2", IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_ACTIVATE);

Oopss...I see what you (Chris) meant now...
Here is what I do...
MyView myView =
(MyView)MyViewPlugin.getInstance().getWorkbench().getActiveW orkbenchWindow().getActivePage().findView( "com.xyz..views.MyView");
By the getActiveWorkbenchWindow() returns null because there is no display.
I call the above from ANOTHER plugin that imports 'MyViewPlugin'.
Thanks.
Alex.

As stated in the javadoc for getActiveWorkbenchWindow will return null when
called from a non-ui thread.
You will likely need to investigate Display.syncExec and Display.asyncExec
to post into the UI thread

If you are running your code from a Job (as you should), you could consider
using a UIJob:
See http://www.eclipsefaq.org/chris/faq/html/faq187.html
