I created a class named 'shutdown' extends 'Viewpart' to
be a view of my eclipse plugin,now I want to add an action
which simply open a file-choose box using MessageDialog
class to this view,but the MessageDialog's constructor me-
thod must need a shell object as primary parameter.
So the problem is how to get the 'Shell' from anywhere?

Thanks!

you can add null too MessageDialog or get shell like this
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay().getActiveShell();

If you want to make sure you are using the same shell as your view, you
can go viewpart.getSite().getShell().

Try to use the shell associated with the view not the active shell - it is
potentially different.

Use IViewPart#getSite()#getShell()
