I made an IPartListener so when I change between different file types I can change perspective automatically. But when I drag an editor tab to a new location, it iterates over the other tabs it crossed. Now I think because of this, the editors getting activated and eclipse wants to change perspectives too fast. And I get a new tab added named: Drag Placerholder which is an ErrorViewPart. My code:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay().asyncExec(() -> {
IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
workbenchWindow.getPartService().addPartListener(new IPartListener() {
@Override
public void partActivated(IWorkbenchPart part) {
if (part instanceof MyEditor && MyEditor.isAutomaticPerspectiveChangeEnabled()) {
MyEditor editor = (MyEditor) part;
try {
editor.changePerspective();
} catch (WorkbenchException e) {
ErrorHandler.handleUnexpectedError(e);
}
}
}
}
}
I tried it with IPartListener2's Visible/Activated method too, and making the method synchronized, same thing happens. The changePerspective method checks if the perspective is other than the one given for the editor, if it is then changes the perspective like so:
IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
workbench.showPerspective(someID, workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow());
I attached some pics, if I drag file1.abc after file3.xyz and the files between would use other perspective, I end up with a 4th tab and a NullPointerException
What causes it and what should I do?
