Question

The run method in my Job class, does some stuff (the details are irrelevant) and outputs 2 arrays of doubles.

I want to display these arrays in a results view which I have created with a Table and 2 columns, one for each array.

How can I reference the view and display these arrays in it at the end of the run method (in the Job class)?

Even if you cannot help me with the answer, I would be happy if someone can point me in some direction because I have no idea. The only thing I could think of was event handling but I don’t know very much about that either.

class RunnerJob extends Job {
     protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
          //does some stuff
          double[] col1 = someStuff1();
          double[] col2 = someStuff2();

          //display in results view?
  }
}

Based on Suraj Chandran’s answer, this is the code I used to reference a view’s static method,

display.syncExec(
    new Runnable() {
       public void run(){
           try { 
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView(ResultsView.ID);
           } catch (PartInitException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
             }
                 ResultsView.update(<object with values>);
             }
     });

In your view class have a static method something like getInstance() that would return reference to you view object. Once you have the object you can set the arrays in it.
