Eclipse loads up a Perspective when started.

i have multiple perspectives in my RCP Application
eg:
welcome, contact, literature etc...

when i start my application the first time (no workspace exists yet)
the correct Perspective gets launched (welcome)

this Setting is coming from my WorkbenchAdvisor.getInitialWindowPerspectiveId()

further i read that i can specify the startup perspective by adding arguments to the application, so i added the following to the .product

-perspective my.welcome.id

my problem now is, that after starting the application and changing the perspective, eclipse seems to store information about the last open perspective and restores this perspective at the next launch.

how can i prevent this?
is it possible to delete the information about the last open Perspective ?
i do not want to disable complete restoring of layouts etc...

by the way: i am using Eclipse Neon

thanks in advance

Hi,

Did you try running with -clean or -clearPersistedData?

Otherwise, in your activator you can put code like this:

IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().showPerspective(PerspectiveFactory.ID,
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getWorkbenchWindows()[0]);
