Hey,

I'm still relatively green in eclipse development. Here's the set up. I
have 2 views. When something is clicked in view 1 I want something to
happen in view 2.

My question is: where does the listener go? I mean if I was extending
ApplicationWindow then I would just put it in the createContents method,
but it's not that simple here. :p

Here's my little listener:

toListen.addSelectionChangedListener(new ISelectionChangedListener() {
public void selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent event) {
IStructuredSelection selection = (IStructuredSelection)
event.getSelection();
Object selected = selection.getFirstElement();
table.setInput(selected);

Thank you.

Ian

Check out:

Basically, view2 would add a selection listener with a call to
getSite().getPage().addSelectionListener(*), probably in
createPartControl(*).
