Hi,

In an RCP app, I added:
- a new view in the plugin.xml (don't even know if it was really necessary)
- and at the createInitialLayout() of the class implementing
IPerspectiveFactory:

IFolderLayout left = layout.createFolder("left", IPageLayout.LEFT,
(float)0.60, "left");
left.addView("library.editor.view1");

But I just cannot see the view in the RCP. Is there another further step to
accomplish this or I just messed things up?

Thanks in advance,

Cesar

In createFolder(*) the last string is a refId ... an ID of somethat that
already exists in the layout. Like IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA

Thanks Paul. It worked.

I was trying to mimic the piece of code below (that works):

IFolderLayout bottonRight = layout.createFolder("bottonRight",
IPageLayout.BOTTOM, (float)0.60, "right"); //see this last "right"

But I forgot to check that "right" (but not "left") was defined before as a
IFolderLayout.
