[news.eclipse.tools] Re: M4 getInstance Not Working ?

["Eduardo Pereira" <eduardo_pereira@xxxxxxx>]

- Can you post the NPE stack trace? Would getInstance be called before
create part control?
- The constructor and createPartControl will get called every time a view is
created. So if I have 2 windows and open you view in both windows we will
have 2 instances of ResultView. I.E getInstance does not work.
