Re: [platform-ui-dev] Eclipse view plugin: swing problem

["Boris Bokowski" <bokowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

The best place for questions like this is the eclipse.platform
newsgroup or the eclipse.platform.swt newsgroup, see
http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups

The second best place would be a bug report.

My guess would be that you did not implement your part's setFocus()
method, but it is hard to tell without a complete code snippet, and
without knowing the platform (Windows? GTK? Mac/Carbon?) and the
Eclipse version (3.3? 3.4?).
