What controls the open state of a view on workspace creation? [message #483032]

My plugin implements a view. It is well behaved with one exception.
When a new workspace is created, my view is initially open. The better
behaviour would be for the view to be initially closed. If I switch
from one workspace to another, or restart Eclipse, the state of the view
is consistent with the last state of the view in the opened workspace.

What controls the initial open/closed state of a view in a newly created
workspace?

The perspective definition controls whether the view is open or closed initially (i.e. when you reset the perspective or when you open in a new workspace). After that, the perspective's state is saved in the workspace metadata.

Ok, perspectiveExtension->(view)->visible = false. That works. Thanks.
