[news.eclipse.newcomer] How to: View1 responds to events in View2

["Jonathan Branam" <jonathan.branam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Setup:
I have two custom Views that I have built. They each show a different view 
of the same XML data (the XML data in this case is a trace from the 
execution of a program). One of the views shows a hierarchical trace of the 
execution with nested method calls and timing statistics in a Tree View. The 
other view shows a tabular view of the data arranged by method/class also 
including timing statistics in a Table View.

Goal:
What I want is when the user double-clicks in the Tree View to make the 
Table View select the same row of data (I will also make this operate in 
reverse). What I don't know is the proper "eclipse" way to do this. Is there 
some generic way to send my custom message and respond to it? My plug-in 
actually has 3 tabular views currently and may gain more. I would like all 
of my tabular views to repond to the double-click in the Tree View and 
vice-versa.

Obviously, the user may close any of the views, so the other views should 
still work properly in this instance.

This is my first project in Eclipse and I'm quite happy with everything so 
far. This would be some great icing on the cake.

Thanks!
