How other plugins add views to perspective [message #517437] Sat, 27 February 2010 23:25 Go to next message

Hi all,

I want to let other plugins add views to my perspective. I have defined
a new extension point in my core plugin and used this extension point in
my 2nd (extension) plugin. But eclipse doesn't see the view and I am
getting the exception:
org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: Could not create view: ...

I can add views from the 2nd plugin by using
org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtension extension point. In this case,
eclipse adds all views which are defined under this extension point
automatically. But that's not want I want.

My usecase is like this: I want to add a view to my perspective
according to some URL arguments. For example, they show two different views.
http://127.0.0.1:2222/rap?startup=unicase&view=project
<http://127.0.0.1:2222/rap?startup=unicase&view=project>
http://127.0.0.1:2222/rap?startup=unicase&view=teamt
<http://127.0.0.1:2222/rap?startup=unicase&view=teamt>

And, if somebody wants to add new view, he should use my extension point
and create his view in his plugin. Then, he can run his view with a
predefined url argument.

http://127.0.0.1:2222/rap?startup=unicase&view=mynewview
< http://127.0.0.1:2222/rap?startup=unicase&view=mynewview>

BTW, I have only one view in my perspective.

I am guessing that I somehow need to "extend" the extension point from
org.eclipse.ui.views. So, Eclipse is able to recognize my extension
point as an ui.views extension point. Then it would be able to find the
view id.

How can I solve this problem or is there another way to do that?

Cheers.

if you get a PartInitException, the stack trace will show you where the
source of the problem is.

Regarding the other question: Have you read this article?
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/using-perspectives/Perspecti veArticle.html

If you are still stuck, you may ask on the Platform/UI newsgroup
< http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=thread&frm_id= 11&>. There are
the experts when it comes to programmatically working with perspectives.
