[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Focus on ViewPart

[craquerpro@xxxxxxxx (David Perez)]

Another similar need.
I have several related views.
When I open view2 from view1 is easy to get a reference to view2 from 
view1.
But if the user restarts the app and the view layout is restored, view1 
cannot know if view2 is already opened, in order to update its contents 
based on view1 selection.

The workaround I use know is to detect view2 by means of IPartListener.
Is there any better alternative?
Thanks in advance for any tip.
