Show Multiple Perspectives as Tabs in Perspective bar [message #664634]

Hi everybody,

I am developing an RCP application where I've got two perspectives, each of them having 4 different views.

I would like to have the two perspectives shown as tabs (in what I think is the PerspectiveBar) when the application is started.

At the moment, I've got only the perspective I've set in the WorkbenchAdvisor which is shown in addition to the "Other" button. That button allows me to change between perspectives, but it is not handy for my application.

I know this question has already been asked in the forum, but I cannot figure out how the replies can fix the problem I have.
For example, I do not get how to implement the solution given here: http:// www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&th=74037&S=9 2c2ec7e3166f986f5b512c10dcbee67#page_top

I would appreciate some help on that point. Thanks

Olivier.

Is it that you want your app to come up with both perspectives in the
perspective bar? That sounds like PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS preference

Humm,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I looked for such "plugin_customization.ini" file but could not find it for my project. Is it a file created along with a new project? Or am I supposed to create a new one.

I was able to find a "plugin_customization.ini" file on my machine, but I guess it is related to my Eclipse IDE.

Olivier.

you have to create one for your product if you want to customize prefs.
A search should turn up some examples.
