How to register a selection service provider [message #325298]

I am curious if there is a straightforward way to register an Editor or a View as a Selection Provider

That is, if I create an Editor and it implements ISelectionProvider, how can register this editor as a Selction Provider for the Selection Service so that, in some view, I can as

getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getSelectionService().addSele ctionListener(new LocalSelectionListener());

Thanks

In your editor:

@Override
public void init(IEditorSite site, IEditorInput input)
throws PartInitException
{

site.setSelectionProvider(this);

....

And as a second question,

How can fire my own properties and have other views pick them up?

For example, in my editor, if I say:

firePropertyChange(MyEditorPart.MY_PROP);

What is the best way to register my view as IPropertyListener?

Should I pull MyEditor from a registry and call

myEditor.addPropertyListener()

or is there a more clever way to do this ?

Thanks
