[news.eclipse.tools] Re: How to tell if a ViewPart has been disposed.

["Nick Edgar" <nick_edgar@xxxxxxx>]

James,

There is no way to ask an arbitrary view directly (via IViewPart or its
parent interfaces) if it has been disposed or not.
If it's a view of your own devising, you could always add an isDisposed()
method to it.

However, you can determine whether a view is currently open on a workbench
page or not, using IWorkbenchPage.findView(String id).

Also, you can use the part service, IPartService (which IWorkbenchPage
extends), to track part lifecycle (open, close, activate, deactivate, etc).
