Integration with other Eclipse UI views

By using the Runtime Services APIs, ZIETrans transformation views, or ZIETrans rich client applications, can communicate with other Eclipse UI views, or non ZIETrans rich client applications. This communication can be either incoming or outgoing with respect to the ZIETrans application. Incoming communication is defined as a ZIETrans rich client session receiving data or commands from an entity external to ZIETrans. Outgoing communication is defined as a ZIETrans rich client session sending data or commands to an external entity. This functionality enables pertinent data to be retrieved from multiple sources and displayed in a single view. Therefore, the ZIETrans rich client application can either be the view receiving and displaying data from other Eclipse rich client applications or the application providing data to one or more Eclipse rich client applications for display.
