[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: How to get form MessageManager?

["JMaslac" <jmaslac@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Thomas!

Thanks for the help. Works like a charm! :)
I found out that something like:

IMessageManager manager = new MessageManager();

also works, but because MessageManager is in a package marked internal, the
use of it is discouraged.
So, I'll stick with your code! :)

Btw, if you are willin to share to code for the mentioned bridge between
Databinding and message manager I would be grateful!! Because, and that's
not hard to guess:), that's exactly what I need to implement also..
