How to pass my context object to my View constructor [message #448795]

A question about constructing and initializing Views:

I need to pass to my Views a ref to an application context object.

But if I understand it right, the RCP platform actually creates the
instance of my View class, by calling the no-arg constructor.
It doesn't pass anything else. Is there a proper way to pass an
arbitrary object to it? Or to reach back to the Application instance
from within the View constructor?

Thanks

One option is to have your view contact someone (like your plugin) on
initialization and request the app context. Having your view talk to
it's plugin is acceptable.
