hi,

i have a rcp application with several plugins, say plugin COURSE and plugin PERSON. The plugin PERSON has a perspective, to which the plugin COURSE contributes a view. The plugin COURSE is dependent on the plugin PERSON. The plugin PERSON contributes a view to the same perspective too. The relatives of the parts is as following:

the view of plugin COURSE is placed left to the editor area
the view of plugin PERSON ist placed top of the COURSE plugin.

When I start the application with both plugins the layout is as intended, but if I start it only with the plugin PERSON, the person view is place to the right of the editor area, obviously because it does not find the view it depends on relatively.

I want the person view always place left to the editor area. The other way around, setting the view PERSON left to the editor area and the view course bottom to the person view does not work either, obviously the course view is placed first to the person view.

How can I solve that problem?

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, this doesn't make sense. You can create a perspective and place
the person view to the left of the editor area. Then your course plugin
can add itself above, below, or stacked with the person view.
