Hi
I have added few selection listeners in my perspective that contains many
views.
Now I want to remove these selection listeners when I switch perspective.
I am aware of the removeSelectionListener(IselectionListener) in
SelectionService.But the problem is that I do not have a reference of the
listener registered.
It could be easy for me if there is something like
removeAllSelectionListeners() in SelectionService.
Is there any way to remove all the selectionlisteners registered without
knowing their references.
Thanks
Swetha

What Ed says is true, any listener you add you must remove at the
appropriate point in your lifecycle.
In 3.4 made the ISelectionService available through the getService(*)
mechanism. Any listeners you add will be cleaned up when your service
locator is disposed.
i.e. if you use workbenchWindow.getService(ISelectionService.class) to
get the selection service, your listeners would be cleaned up when the
workbenchWindow is closed. If you use
getSite().getService(ISelectionService.class) to get the selection
service, your listeners would be cleaned up when your part is disposed.
But if you were to use listeners at the "perspective" level, you would
probably get the ISelectionService from the workbenchWindow and you
would still be responsible for removing them when the perspective closes
(since it has a shorter lifecycle than the window, but a longer one that
your views).
Later,
PW
