Re: [pde-ui-dev] My plugin view must appear when a log comes.

You might try playing with IWorkbench.getViewRegistry().find(..).
 With the IViewDescriptor from this function, I imagine you can get
previously created views and if a view has not been created, go ahead and
create it yourself.  You might also post the question on one of the
Platform's mailing list since IWorkbench is really their API and they might
have some other suggestions on how to do this.

I have a logger plugin project. I prepared a view for
it. I have a log logger that has two handlers. One of them logs to a frame.
And I am doing for other handler to show logs in the plugin view. But for
that, I must show out the view when a log comes and also must change the
content when a log comes. I am going to use setInput() method for this.
Bur firstly I must reach the plugin view. I can't do it. The handler must
find the plugin view when it is created. How can I find the view? I tried
PlatformUI.getWorkbench() method and then findView(...) after getting active
page. It doesn't work and says "The workbench has not been created
yet". 

For an idea, I want to create a plugin like jUnit view. When you right
click on test code and run the test, the jUnit view appears on the workbench
and shows green or red according to test result. My logger plugin view
must appear when a log comes. 

Can you help me?
