In my e4 Application I have a Part-Stack,
I do not want my Views to be rearrangeable and
I would like to forbid pulling-out of parts from their partstack container.

So I am looking for a view.setMovable() method, as described here for RCP3:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_create_fixed_views_and_perspectives%3F

How can this be done in e4?

Hello,

create a product configuration file without the org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.sw plug-in. See Eclipse 4 Model Addons.

Best regards, Lars

Hello Lars,
unfortunately I would like to restrict this behavious for concrete Windows, not for the whole application.

Taking the plugin org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt out from dependencies - removes the part-drag functionality for the whole application, right?

Then you need to specialize the DNDAddon and ship you own. Have you
looked at the code? Maybe there are already tags to probibit moving
stuff around, else it might be a good idea to add such tags and
contribute a patch.

No tags yet, but it would be trivial to add them.

@Alex: can you open a bug report for that?

If you feel like it, please also provide a patch. You can learn how to checkout the Eclipse 4 source code here: http://www.vogella.com/articles/Eclipse4Source/article.html#e4gitrepository

Please post the bug report also to this discussion thread.
