Hi,

I am have a plugin for eclipse that I am maintaining. A user wants a function in my plugin, a listener that can notify about specific operations. Then he want to receive these notifications.

How shall I make it possible for him to get notifications from my plugin to his plugin?

All hints are very welcome.

br,

Design a ServiceInterface, provide it - maybe - in a separate plugin. Implement a Service that implements your ServiceInterface. Register the service with org.eclipse.ui.services. The user can then request the service
from the Workbench and register his listener.

IMyNotificationService service = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(IMyNotificationService.class)
if (service!=null)
{
   service.addListener(myServiceListener);
}
