Activating/Creating/Showing a ViewPart from an internal method

Question

Is there an easier way to do this (retaining the ability to use VIEW_VISIBLE, VIEW_ACTIVATE, and VIEW_CREATE)?

public class MyView extends ViewPart {
    ...
    public void myMethod() {
        try {
            getSite().getPage().showView(ID, null, IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_VISIBLE);
        } catch (PartInitException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        ...
    }
]

Are you within your view when you want to open the other view? If so, that's the correct way to do it. — Paul Webster, Oct 27 '11 at 11:22
Yes, I'm trying to activate an instance of MyView from within MyView. — Ethan Reesor, Oct 27 '11 at 15:38
