[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: how to update a view in real-time?

[Glenn Marintes <gmarintes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Each view in RCP have a unique id. Use that id to findView(..) or 
showView(..) the view that contains the table dat you want to update.
Those two methods return an IViewPart which is basically the instance
of your view. You can safely typecast it to the actual class type
of your view and then call a method in your view ie.. setData(...)
