org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: "Widget is disposed" from table refresh

The app is an Eclipse 3.6 based RCP (so jface version 3.5.2) running on windows 7.

I have a custom View class that contains a TableViewer and calls refresh() on it. Sometimes, but not very often it results in the stack trace below. It's called from within the UI thread. I suspected the problem was with other code that changes the backing list to the table, but that any code that does this is also run in either a syncExec or asyncExec method so I don't understand how it could be a synchronisation issue between the changing of table items and the refresh of the viewer.

Any ideas what i can do to prevent this happening?

Seems like refresh() method is called after the viewer is disposed (closed?). You can avoid this exception by checking:

public void refresh() {
   if (viewer != null && !viewer.getControl().isDisposed()) {
      // Actual refresh code
   }
}

Try use display.isDisposed() like this.

    shell.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable()
    {
        @Override
        public void run ()
        {
            if(!display.isDisposed() && !disposing)
            {
                              //you source code
            }
        }
    });

But remember that isDisposed() return true then disposing end. Thats why you shod use flag

disposing = true;

display.dispose();

disposing = false;

Just create a new work-space. Import your projects. It worked for me. :)
