Is there a way to force eclipse to reevaluate property testers that are
associated with command handlers?
I have implemented state machines to control the enablement of actions in
our UI.
Each action that is controlled by the state machine has a property tester
that checks if a given value is false or true.
To force eclipse to reevaluate those properties we have to create
selection events.
This works as long as we are changing the states and the currently active
view is a selection provider.
The problem is that we are also using the properties view and some more
views that aren't selection providers.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jochen
