I have a RCP application with 2 perspectives and i need to switch between the perspectives from a view (combo / button) contained in both perspectives. Problem is how.

Check out IWorkbenchPage ... and I think there's a perspective registry
in IWorkbench.

Try this:

IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IPerspectiveRegistry perspReg = workbench.getPerspectiveRegistry();
IPerspectiveDescriptor perspDesc =
perspReg.findPerspectiveWithId("com.my.perspective.Id");

IWorkbenchWindow window = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
if (window != null) {
IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
page.setPerspective(perspDesc);
}
