Show view in another perspective [message #463318]

Hello,

How to know what views are in a perspective?

I'm trying to implement a "Show view" action working like this:
- focus the chosen view if present in the current perspective,
- if the view is in another perspective, open this perspective and focus
the view,
- if the view isn't in any perspective, open it in the current perspective.

I know how to get all defined perspectives and views, but what I'm
missing is how to know if a view is contained in a perspective.

Your help is welcome!

You can access only the view in the current perspective.
There is no way to know if the view is present in the perspective that
isn't the current perspective.
This is a disadvantage of Eclipse <=3.2. I don't know if this is
possible in Eclipse 3.3.

I've succeeded by showing successively each perspective until I find the
view... But I'd like to know if there's a better way.

What do you do when the view is not in the present perspective, but in n (>1) other perspectives?
