[news.eclipse.tools] Found one way...is there a better way?

[jbognar@xxxxxxxxxx (James Bognar)]

I found that if the following returns null, then the view has been
disposed: 
AbstractUIPlugin.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().findView(viewId)

Is this the best way to do it?  And will it always work?
