got a little question here to Eclipse Plugins.
I have a java class which contains some data, e.g. a linkedlist and some other stuff. I need this data in 2 views. In one view I want to display some of them, and the other view should show a list with the data. (this is my special case, but I ask the question generally).
So, how can I use this one class in both views? In "normal" java I'd would give a reference when I create the views, but as far as I know this is not possible in eclipse plugins.
My solution is, that the data-class is a singleton. But I don't like this solution, I think this only works in my case.
Hope you got the point :) Do anyone of you know a better solution?
(i'm new in eclipse plugins, there aren't good books or tutorials, aren't there?)
To answer the second question in your post... try this site out for basic tutorials about Eclipse plug-ins and RCP applications.
This answer should help with the first question in your post.
