Hi

I want to get the IPartService from the Workbench so that I can register
my class as an IPartListener. The following code does not seem to help,
'ps' (a.k.a part service) always returns null.

IWorkbench wb = Activator.getDefault().getWorkbench();
IPartService ps = (IPartService)wb.getService(IPartService.class);

Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Got it. Had to wait for my IEditorPart to be initialized by Eclipse's
text editing framework and I can get the IPartService from it.
