There is a possibility to share Data between multiple instances by binding it to the shell:

Setter:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().setData(key, value);

Getter:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().getData(key);

IPropertyChangeListener!

Using IPropertyChangeListener can realize my demand, it can be a bridge to any elements, from a ui to ui, from a background job to a ui part or any other relation, so with this interface, we can use a job to get data from remote server, then notify the ui views to update it's contents.
this link shows that how to use IPropertyChangeListener
