My application consists of many parts and they are defined in application's e4xmi file. I want to hide and show them dynamically. I am using EpartService to do so in handlers, where I can inject it.
But I also want to control the show/hide of parts with something like life cycle manager, where I can not inject EPartService. Is there any way to achieve and fully control RCP application's life cycle?
There seems the exact same question here and void of solution: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/595958/
I want to implement 'remember me like feature' where part having sign in screen is shown instead of other parts. Also after log out same sign-in part is to be shown. So I need to control life cycle of RCP app. But I cant inject EPartService before anything in Application's e4xmi is initiated.
If you are creating a class from something which is injected (such as the LifeCycle class) you can create your class with injection using ContextInjectionFactory:
@Inject
IEclipseContext context;
MyClass myClass = ContextInjectionFactory.make(MyClass.class, context);
Or if you just pass an IEclipseContext to the class you can get the part service using:
EPartService partService = context.get(EPartService.class);
Note: There is a separate instance of the part service for each part. Depending on what you are doing you may need to make sure you have the service for the active part.
