Method Detail

getWorkbench

public static IWorkbench getWorkbench()

Returns the workbench. Fails if the workbench has not been created yet.

---

isWorkbenchRunning

public static boolean isWorkbenchRunning()

Returns whether createAndRunWorkbench 55 has been called to create the workbench, and the workbench has yet to terminate.

Since:

3.0

---

createAndRunWorkbench

public static int createAndRunWorkbench(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display display,
                                        org.eclipse.ui.application.WorkbenchAdvisor advisor)

Creates the workbench and associates it with the given display and workbench advisor, and runs the workbench UI. This entails processing and dispatching events until the workbench is closed or restarted.

This method is intended to be called by the main class (the "application"). Fails if the workbench UI has already been created.

Use createDisplay 55 to create the display to pass in.

Note that this method is intended to be called by the application (org.eclipse.core.boot.IPlatformRunnable). It must be called exactly once, and early on before anyone else asks getWorkbench() for the workbench.

Since:

3.0

---

createDisplay

public static org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display createDisplay()

Creates the Display to be used by the workbench. It is the caller's responsibility to dispose the resulting Display, not the workbench's.

Since:

3.0

---

getTestableObject

public static org.eclipse.ui.testing.TestableObject getTestableObject()

Returns the testable object facade, for use by the test harness.

IMPORTANT: This method is only for use by the test harness. Applications and regular plug-ins should not call this method.

Since:

3.0

---

getPreferenceStore

public static org.eclipse.jface.preference.IPreferenceStore getPreferenceStore()

Returns the preference store used for publicly settable workbench preferences. Constants for these preferences are defined on IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.

Since:
