[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Show view in Action.run( )

[Ben Smith <bensmith03@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alles,

I am new and wondering whether I could get help here. I have an Action. 
I want that by Clicking it would cause several instances of a View to 
show. However, using IWorkbenchPage.showView(...) did not show the view 
content (e.g., a label or an image). The program seemed to skip it and 
continue to run the code after the showView() statement (e.g., 
System.out.println(...) or Thread.sleep(...)). If I inserted a 
MessageBox after the showView() statement. The IWorkbenchPage.showView() 
then displayed the view. Why do I need a MessageBox to have the view 
shown? Can I show the view without the MessageBox? Any help please?

Ben
