I use Eclipse RCP. I have created a form (ViewPart), this form does not have submit button. At another form I have a text area and a button. When this button is pressed I need data from the first form to create an object. How I can automatically retrieve form data without manually reading all fields and filling the fields of some objects?
Look into Data Binding, that’s exactly the stuff it does, matching up controls with object fields/properties. Also consider an EditorPart rather than a ViewPart.
Here are some links for data binding (it’s called JFace data binding):

This should get you started. Unfortunately I have never used it myself, I have just seem examples of it.
