Setting size of window created by PlatformUI.getWorkbench().openWorkbenchWindow [message #327861]

Is it possible to set the size of the window created by the following call:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().openWorkbenchWindow(perspectiveId, null);

It can be done in RCP, but my code is just for a plugin and does not have
access to WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.

BTW - is it possible to get access to IWindowConfigurer or accesss to
methods which control behaviour of the window before the window is created
in "plugins" mode?

You can ask the result of that call for its shell "getShell()" and then
set the size of the shell using setBounds(). Of course this fails your
"before the window is created" criteria, but it's the best that I can
come up with.

Thanks for the response.

I have to do some other thing to this window as well: e.g. set its title
and that seems to be available only to RCP applications because one can do
that in WorkbenchWindowAdvisor. In plugins mode, one does not seem to have
access to many key window properties before the window is created.
