Hi,

at first I'd like to outline my project shape to clarify things...

Plugin A (RCP Application running the display and workbench)
Plugin B (contributing perspectives, views etc. to Plugin A)

After one of the perspectives (and the corresponding views) in plugin B gets loaded I want some code to be run. How to do that most elegantly?

Approach 1:
Invoke the code from createPartControl() of the view(s).
- Horrible since that creates hard-coded dependencies I want to avoid

Approach 2:
Register an IPartListener(2) in the plugin activator of B that runs the code after the view(s) of interest have been opened.
- Works great so far, however I'm curious if this is the way to go...

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Marian
