Dynamically open a view and an editor [message #326180]

Hi,

I need to open, dynamically from my Java code, a view that I have defined
in my plug-in. Could someone please show me the way or API that I can call
to accomplish that?

Besides, I need to open, also dynamically from my Java code, a Java file
(a compilation unit) in the editor, precisely in the point of a certain
method (I use in my plug-in the ASTParser and then I have the pointer to
the ASTNode, of MethodDeclaration type, corresponding to the method on
which I want to open the editor). Could you help me?

Thanks
MN

For showing the view, there's org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage.showView(String)

For showing an normal editor, there's
org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage.openEditor(IEditorInput, String) or many
openEditor(*) methods on org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE You can use openEditor
with an IFile to open the editor, but then you would have to use some
API on that editor to set the cursor to the correct position.
