Opening a view after launching in eclipse

Question

I'm trying to have a view open programatically at the end of an eclipse ILaunchConfigurationDelegate. Currently I'm getting an "invalid thread access" error when I try to call showView(). How do I open a view from the launcher?

Answer 1

Try wrapping your call like this;

Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    // Your code goes here
  }
});

This will put it on the Display thread and should fix the errors your seeing.
