<p>I have a plug-in to an Eclipse RCP application that has a view.  After an event occurs in the RCP application, the plug-in is instantiated, its methods are called to populate the plug-in's model, but I cannot find how to make the view appear without going to the "Show View..." menu.</p>

<p>I would think that there would be something in the workbench singleton that could handle this, but I have not found out how anywhere.</p>

You are probably looking for this:
```
```
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView("viewId");
```
```
