Hi, I'm playing around with the JFace dialogs. The following line
produces a 'discouraged access' warning, so I guess I'm messing around
with something:

Shell shell = Workbench.getInstance().getDisplay().getActiveShell();

Maybe there's a better way?

The Workbench class is in an internal package and should not be accessed
directly. The correct (API) way to get a reference to the Workbench
isntance is via org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.getWorkbench().

Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Eric,

yeah this helps of course. I also found that getSite().getShell() would
work.
