[Parvez Ahmad <parvez12@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
Sorry  for wrong message.
I am calling some code from handlers, and eclipse jobs.

Actually I am porting my code to E4 platform, one that uses  .e4xmi
file have an a below problems:-
1. I do not want to pass Shell to all my classes. I have some old code:
display = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay() in some non-ui
classes. That code is not working in E4
2. Similarly   PlatformUI.getWorkbench().restart() is not working

3. The non-ui code is getting called at many places and that shows
progress dialogs.

Message i get is workbench is not created

Please help
regards
Ahmad
