Getting Eclipse workbench as a Component [message #214114]

Hello,

I'd like to open a JFileChooser window from the main workbench but I have
a problem : I am using the method JFileChooser#showOpenDialog(Component c)
but I don't know what parent Component to put as an argument. I tried to
look at IWorkbenchWindodow and IWorkbench without success.

If anyone could help me finding a parent Component representing the main
window, I'd appreciate it :-)

Thanx,
David

You can pass the null to the JFileChooser, but why do not use
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FileDialog instead?

thanx a lot for our answer Eddie.

You are totally right, I'm going to use the SWT API :-) , I was just used
to use Swing.
