hello,all.
i'm working on a multi-instance view, and want to set different contents for different instances of the view.
i know how to open multi-instance view by using showView() method. but i am quite lost when i try to set contents for the newly opened view... e.g. each instance view would, in the tableviewer, display different classes of students' information...
can anybody please help me out here.detailed description would be much helpful since i'm new programming on rcp... big thx.

The most common solution to this usecase is to have an
InformationManager (maybe in your plugin, or as a service). When you
open your view with a secondary ID, that acts as a key that allows your
view to retrieve the appropriate data source from your InformationManager.
