Returns the IJiveDebugTarget that is currently being presented by the view. If there isn't an active target, then null is returned.

Returns:

the active target of the view or null if there isn't one

display

void display(IJiveDebugTarget target)

Changes the view to present the supplied IJiveDebugTarget, making it the new active target. Implementers may determine if the target should actually be presented.

This method should only be called on the UI thread. In order for non-UI threads to invoke this method, the following can be done.

     IJiveView view = ... ;
     IJiveDebugTarget target = ... ;
     
     Display display = JiveUITools.getStandardDisplay();
     display.syncExec(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
             view.display(target);
         }
     });
 

Parameters:

target - the target to display in the view
