Ok, we're almost there ... (must have been the way I asked, lol) ... my
editor action wants to call writeln(String s) in my console view. So, how
do I get the "running" instance of the class ConsoleView and not the Plugin?
I can't create a console in my action because the one I want to call the
writeln method on is already running?
Thank you, thank you, ...
David

Del:
The guy in the post below had the same issue that I am having. I don't care
whether I use a listener/proxy/callback method or a direct method call way
of talking between plugins, but I have been unsuccessful doing either. Just
like the guy in next post down, I tried using the IListener, ext-point,
extension way of using a host plugin and the console would be the listener.
When my editor action run method called Platform.getPlugin, it returned
null. I can't get a running instance of the host plugin. Since, it had no
GUI, I assume I was missing something. A view gets created when you use
Eclipse to show it. I don't know what you do to get a dumb plugin to run.

Hi David,
Have you tried adding the <exports> line to the plugin 2's plugin.xml ? If
plugin 2 doesn't export its classes, then plugin 1 won't be able to call
methods on classes that belong to plugin 2.

I answered this problem a while back, but since I can't remember what post
it was in, I'll answer again :-).
You don't have to worry about the classes as they are associated with
plugins. You are only worried about views that are visible on the workbench
(if I read you correctly). That is, you have a view on the workbench that is
visible and you want to force it to do something.
A workbench page will only ever have one instance of a view openned at a
time, so you can ask it for the view that you want:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().findVie
w(myView.id);
This will return an instance of IViewPart, or null if your view couldn't be
found. You can then cast what was returned to whatever class it is that your
view is an instance of, and call the method that you want.
