Closing a view programmatically before shutdown [message #541647]

Hello,

I'm writing a plug-in which opens a view programmatically to show some results. Now I want to close this view programmatically when Eclipse shuts down, because Eclipse saves the workbench everytime it exits and I don't want it to save my view.

I found the code to close a view like the following:

final IViewReference[] viewRefs = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().getViewReferences();

for (int v = 0; v < viewRefs.length; v++){
final IViewReference viewRef = viewRefs[v];
if(viewRef.getView(false).getTitle().equals(MY_VIEW_TITLE)){
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().hideView(viewRef);
}
}

but I don't know where to put this. I tried putting it in plug-in activator file's stop() method, but didn't work out.

Can anybody help me with this please?

Cheers,
Bahar
