Hi,
I have two plugins - Plugin A and Plugin B.

Plugin A is a n extention to a View
Plugin B is an extention to an actionSet.

On invoking Plugin B, I want to invoke my view defined in Plugin A.

From the IWorkbenchPage do showView(...).

The hard part will be getting the workbench page.

You don't invoke plugins. Plugins are simply code libraries. You invoke
classes within a library. So I presume you are invoking an
IActionDelegate implementation that is defined within Plugin B. In that
case, make your IActionDelegate actually be an implimentation of
IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate. Then your action delegate will be called
with init(IWorkbenchWindow). Save that workbench window in your action
delegate.

Then on the run of the action delegate use:

workbenchwindow.getActivePage(). This will be the active IWorkbenchPage,
and from that page you can do the showView.

Just put the code into a common class and call the class from either the
action or from your view.
