This plug-in contains the bulk of the Workbench implementation, and depends on JFace, SWT, and Core Runtime. It cannot be used independently from org.eclipse.ui. Workbench client plug-ins should not depend directly on this plug-in.

/**
 * Abstract base implementation of all workbench views.
 * 
 * This class should be subclassed by clients wishing to define new views.
 * The name of the subclass should be given as the "class" 
 * attribute in a view extension contributed to the workbench's
 * view extension point (named "org.eclipse.ui.views").
 * For example, the plug-in's XML markup might contain:
 * 
 * <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
 *      <view id="com.example.myplugin.view"
 *         name="My View"
 *         class="com.example.myplugin.MyView"
 *         icon="images/eview.gif"
 *      />
 * </extension>
 * 
 * where com.example.myplugin.MyView is the name of the
 * ViewPart subclass.
 * 
 * 
 * Subclasses must implement the following methods:
 * 

 *   createPartControl - to create the view's controls 
 *   setFocus - to accept focus
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Subclasses may extend or reimplement the following methods as required:
 * 

 *   setInitializationData - extend to provide additional 
 *       initialization when view extension is instantiated
 *   init(IWorkbenchPartSite) - extend to provide additional
 *       initialization when view is assigned its site
 *   dispose - extend to provide additional cleanup
 *   getAdapter - reimplement to make their view adaptable
 * 
 *
