How to customize perspective with editors? [message #657481]

I am trying to create a perspective that when opened, opens a couple of views and also opens 4 editors and laying them out side by side so they are all visible next to each other. I can open my views fine and lay them out any way I want but I can't seem to figure out how to layout the editors. I can open 4 editors and then lay them out how I want to by hand using the UI and when I close down and restart the app, they are layout out properly but I want this process automated so that anytime the perspective is opened, I get the desired 4 editor layout.

Thanks,

Max

There's no support for this in 3.x, as their is no API to create
multiple editor stacks in the editor area.

In 4.x it will be possible to do this, as the editor areas are described
through the model, but I'm not sure how much is supported yet in 4.1 M5
