Couple editor to perspective? [message #523939]

I'd like to switch (or at least prompt the user about switching) to a certain perspective when a custom editor is opened.

When the editor is closed (or another editor is in focus), I'd like to switch back to the previous perspective.

Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

Hi,
You can try using org.eclipse.ui.IPartListener and handle the perpspective switch in the editor activate/deactivate events.

Thanks! I'm now associating every editor in the application with a specific perspective, which is opened on activation (through an IPartListener).
