Hi,
newbie questions.
I have an RCP application based on GEF Shapes-RCP example.

Goal: to show Outline and Property Views?

I can get the Outline view to show with what I have,
but I can't get the properties view to show at all.

What is the (real) RCP way of achieving my goal.
This seems to be a naive attempt.

Thanks
Jeff Higgins

p.s. why do I have a Working Sets menu item in my window menu?
I guess I must somehow be reusing some sort of workbench menu?

I now have in my (only) perspective:

public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(true);
layout.addView(IPageLayout.ID_OUTLINE,
IPageLayout.LEFT, .3f, layout.getEditorArea());
layout.addView(IPageLayout.ID_PROP_SHEET,
IPageLayout.BOTTOM, .3f, layout.getEditorArea());
}

and in my application's ActionBarAdvisor:

private ShowOutlineAction showOutline;
private ShowPropertiesAction showProperties;

MenuManager windowMenu = new MenuManager("Window", "window");
menuBar.add(windowMenu);
windowMenu.add(showOutline);
windowMenu.add(showProperties);

showOutline = new ShowOutlineAction(window);
register(showOutline);
openProperties = new ShowPropertiesAction(window);
register(showProperties);

ShowOutlineAction run method:

public void run() {
try {
IWorkbenchPage page =
window.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePa ge();
page.showView("org.eclipse.ui.views.ContentOutline");

} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

ShowPropertiesAction run method:

public void run() {
try {
IWorkbenchPage page =
window.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePa ge();
page.showView("org.eclipse.ui.views.properties");

} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Well..., if I do this the Property View appears,
but not where my layout specifies, and
it does not participate with the Outline View or Editor.

public void run() {
try {
IWorkbenchPage page =
window.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePa ge();
page.showView(IPageLayout.ID_PROP_SHEET);

} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
