I am porting my Rich Client to e4 and have notice that
WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.postWindowCreate no longer is getting called. In
prior version we used this method to init various perspectives on the
perspective bar , how is this supposed to be done in E4?

It's a bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=363807) that we'll aim to fix for SR1.

The best workaround I can think of (though completely untested) is to listen to the Eclipse 4 UIEvents, such as the UILifeCycle.PERSPECTIVE_OPENED. Your handler would check if the MWindow had your "processed" marker (to prevent re-entrancy), and if not found then add the marker and then open the perspectives. You can obtain the IWorkbenchWindow corresponding to an MWindow through the MWindow's context with something like:

MWindow win = ...;
IWorkbenchWndow web win = (IWorkbenchWndow) win.getContext().get(IWorkbenchWindow.class);

If you mean you want a couple of perspectives listed in the perspective bar right when you start up your RCP app, normally you use a plugin_customization.ini file in your product plugin to simply list the extra perspective IDs.

See the beginning of http://stackoverflow.com/a/708547/713646 for an example.

I tried adding the line to the plugin_customization.ini and rerunning the
app with a clean workspace and that did not work.
org.eclipse.ui/PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS=myPerspectiveId1,myPerspectiveId2

Was there something in addition to tweak in order for the
plugin_customization.ini to get called?

You have to add a preferenceCustomization product property to reference the .ini file:

Yes I already have that. Note: The above setup works in Indigo (3.7.1) but
not in Juno (4.2 RC3).

We want that to still work. Please open a bug at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=UI

I'm sorry to bring back this thread, but any news on that? I'm currently facing the same issue as Drew, and I was wondering if there was any ETA on that fix, or if changes where made regarding the preferenceCustomization.

Thanks.
