How to pass a parameter to a view [message #463516]

I am using multiple views and each one will show some stock information.
So I need to initialize a view with a stock parameter dynamically.

I have found a kind of feature request about it here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82621

So, does this mean there is no "appropriate" way of doing this currently?

thx for your time

It's like the bug mentioned, you can parameterize a view since it is an
IExecutableExtension with setInitializationData(*)

But that is parameterization at the org.eclipse.ui.views definition
level, not the ability pass a different parameter to each multi-instance
view you create.

Currently you would have to maintain some kind of StockViewManager ...
where you could add("stock.view.id:1", stockData) and have each view
retrieve its data using its ID during its init(*) method.

Later,

I do this using the secondary id where I pass meta data to my view e.g.
the date in ISO-Format and parse this back to a java.util.Date later.
