Question

i have multiple instances of view open in my eclipse rcp application. Can any one tell me how can i identify which instance of viewpart is running. and also how can i switch to different instances of same ViewId programmatically ?

I assume you have set allowMultiple in the view declaration.

Use getViewSite().getSecondaryId() in your code to get the secondary id of the current view.

And use IWorkbenchPage.showView(String viewId, String secondaryId, int mode) to activate a different view…
