I am getting a recursive opening editor error. However at the point I get
it the editor and outline view are fully open.

The editor has a few pages and I want to switch to the page relevant to
the selection. So I have a selection changed method which calls
setActivePage. Now this works fine until I select a menu item so that
neither the outline view or the editor are active. I then click in the
outline view which becomes the active part. As far as I can tell it also
fires a selection event which the editor picks up and sets the page. The
problem seems to be that the outline view has not finished its
setActivePart call and so there is already a part being activated when the
setActivePage in the editor happens. Although as the two parts being
activated are not the same I think the error message is somewhat
misleading. It took me a while to figure out it was not the editor
recursively calling itself but that setActivePart is not re-entrant.

I am using the normal selection service and registering the editor as a
listener.

I don't know enought about the way events are handled to figure out how to
get around this.

Phill,

It's probably a good idea to use this type of approach to turn the page
as a separate event

getSite().getShell().getDisplay().asyncExec
(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
setActivePage(0);
}
});

Tried the run asynch (and UIJob), gets
rid of the error however the Menu items which appeared when it is run normally
don't appear now. Looks like the workbench has not seen the selection event.

Phill,

I'm not really sure of the whole picture in your code, but some
variation of this approach (delayed reaction to selection or delayed
delivery of selection) is likely needed.

I think I will try capturing the selection and then adding a post
selection listener and using the saved selection to run the code at that
point. At least the selection logic will have finished by then. Thanks for
the idea.
