Programmatically showing a View from an Eclipse Plug-in

Question

I have a plug-in to an Eclipse RCP application that has a view. After an event occurs in the RCP application, the plug-in is instantiated, its methods are called to populat

Answer 1

I found the need to bring the view to the front after it had been opened and pushed to the background. The activate method does the trick.

PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
    .getActiveWorkbenchWindow()
    .getActivePage()
    .activate(workbenchPartToActivate);

NOTE: The workbenchPartToActivate is an instance of IWorkbenchPart.
