Re: [e4-dev] E4 product export problems

Remy, I think you meant..."Shell
shell = (Shell) window.getWidget();"...

Just pointing this out to avoid the
inevitable "where's 'getShell' ?" questions...;-),

I'm not sure about your second problem, but if you want a shell then you
should be able to inject it.

@Execute
void execute(@Named(IServiceConstants.ACTIVE_SHELL) Shell shell) {
/* ... */
}

@Execute
void execute(MWindow window) {
Shell shell = (Shell) window.getShell();
/* ... */
}
