Hi,
is it possibile to close the current perspective when the user switches to another perspective?

Thanks.

You would probably have to complete your switch to the new perspective,
and then request the old perspective to close.

I'd try the command id = org.eclipse.ui.window.closePerspective ... it
takes a parameter with the perspective id =
org.eclipse.ui.window.closePerspective.perspectiveId

Hi Luca
if you want a more generalised solution, you could create a PerspectiveListener class - consider subclassing org.eclipse.ui.PerspectiveAdapter.

You can only have one of these and that's the first one to be defined. I do this in the WWAdvisor's postWindowOpen() method, something like:
IWorkbenchPage activePage = window.getActivePage(); activePage.getWorkbenchWindow().addPerspectiveListener(new RCPPerspectiveListener());

Regards, John
