R3.1.1, WinXP
To open a view I know how to do:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().showView() ...
But if the user has previously "tabbed" (or whatever is the correct term) the view in question
behind another View, this does *not* bring the view to the front. I've tried showView(ID_VIEW),
showView(ID_VIEW, null, IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_ACTIVATE), and showView(ID_VIEW, null,
IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_VISIBLE). (My view does not allow multiple instances.)
There does not seem to be a method in IViewPart that would be relevant.
Have I missed something, or is this an oversight by Eclipse, or just a bug?
thanks,
Paul

Actually, findView(*) will return the IViewPart if the view is currently
open (visible or not).
showView(*) for all intents and purposes does a findView(*), and if the
view is in the page does an activate(part) ... if the findView(*)
returned null, then it actually tries to create the view.
