Thank you for your help. I'm going to try that out today.

Marc Hoffman touches briefly on this in his Eclipse Corner Article on
the topic of selections [1]. See the section, "Tracking the Current
Selection".

You need to create something (possibly a separate class) that implements
the ISelectionProvider interface. Pass an instance of that class to the
view's site via the setSelectionProvider(ISelectionProvider) method.

FWIW, I'm not sure if the rectangle coordinates makes sense as a
selection (the objects that intersect the rectangle certainly do).

Hello everyone,

Is there a possibility to provide data to the selection service without having created a viewer? Here is my situation: I created an image viewer, using a canvas, in which I can drag a rectangle over an image. I want to provide the coordinates of that rectangle to selection listeners in other plugins, what would be the best way to realize that.
Thank you very much for any suggestions.
