How to dispose a view programmatically? [message #536133]

Hi,

I use views associated with a particular perspective (i.e. allowMultiple=true; secondaryId=perspectiveId).
I clone a perspective when I need it, and delete it when I do not need it anymore.

However, the views associated with the deleted perspective do not get disposed.
How could I achieve, that those views get disposed (programmatically, declaratively, etc.)?

Thank you for your help.
Marton

I guess this is what I was looking for:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().closePerspective(perspDesc, true, false);

Could anyone please confirm that this is a legal way to dispose a perspective and all associated views?

Also since I found the above solution, I do not invoke the IPerspectiveRegistry.deletePerspective() method anymore.
Is this correct so?

Thanks,
Marton

This is API (good), and will close the perspective and hide all of its
views.

Delete perspective should delete the perspective descriptor from the
registry.
