I'm on Eclipse SDK 4.3, developing a product-based E4Application
I am developing two plugins: "Main" and "External"
Main is the plugin with the application.e4xmi and product definition, it depends on External
External has a view part defined in it and also declared in plugin.xml as extension.
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<view
class="my.company.package.FileSystemNavigatorViewPart"
id="my.company.package.FileSystemNavigatorViewPart"
name="FileSystem Navigator"
restorable="true">
</view>
The view part is of course developed according to the e4 model (i.e. it has annotations and does not extend viewPart).
My purpose would be to declare the usage of the view part in the Application.e4xmi. I have specified the class URI in the Application editor, expecting the view part to be reused out of the box.
However, doing so leads to a Dependency Injection error:
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: Unable to process "FileSystemNavigatorViewPart#createControls()": no actual value was found for the argument "Composite".

The exception is generated when the Composite object should be injected in the createControls method of the view.
I have been using DI for a while now without any error, so my overall setup is ok.
I assume there might be some trick for re-using views from external plugins.
Online searches did not provide much help, as many questions are oriented towards re-using eclipse standard features through compat layer.
Can anyone please assists?
Thanks in advance
