editors close -- how to reclaim space for views? [message #324845]

I have an editor which pop-up as user wants to modify properties in the
view. Once editing is done user will close it.

How can I instruct view to reclaim editor's space?? What I end up left
with is just and empty (gray on my OS) area where editor was!?!

You might be able to do it, just execute the command
org.eclipse.ui.window.hideShowEditors

I was able to resolve the problem by registering perspective listener
and doing this. There is a warning about discouraged access, but I think
I am fine for now :) If anyone has better idea please chime in:

final IWorkbenchWindow window = getWindowConfigurer().getWindow();
window.addPerspectiveListener(new IPerspectiveListener() {
public void perspectiveActivated(IWorkbenchPage page,
IPerspectiveDescriptor perspective) {}

public void perspectiveChanged(IWorkbenchPage page,
IPerspectiveDescriptor perspective, String changeId) {

if (changeId.equals(WorkbenchPage.CHANGE_EDITOR_CLOSE)) {
IEditorReference[] refs =
window.getActivePage().getEditorReferences();
if (refs.length == 0)
window.getActivePage().setEditorAreaVisible(false);
}
}
});
