No, I did not say that I need to access a view/toolview of
another plugin.
What I want to access is plugin's own toolview.

And, To be clear, I am talking about KDev4. And I am talking
about
toolviews, such as konsolview, snippet view etc..

First example, think about debugger (which is not yet
implemented).
The user sets breakpoint. Then debugger part should update
its breakpoint table. To update its table, the part needs to
have pointer
for its toolview.

Another example is subversion or CVS part. The part received
log history
from repository. Then, part should print its history via
toolview widgets.

In any case, plugin part should handle its widget.
And I cannot find the interfaces to these toolview.

No you don't because you can't. There might be hundreds of
toolviews for
your plugin all showing the same data. What you want to do
is let the
toolview know about the plugin (as it is done for the
projectmanagerview) and then react on signals sent by the
part when
something happens (like a breakpoint is created).

No it doesn't need that, thats the beauty of signals+slots
you don't
need tight coupling between the objects.

No it should emit a signal that new log history can be
fetched.

No, definetly not. The plugin doesn't know how many
toolviews exist or
in which area they might be.
