Hi,
I am working on an RCP application with few perspectives, one of this perspectives has editor area disabled because it serves mainly as a logging console. I am facing two problems:
1) When I open some editor from logging view, it is opened in that perspective, I would like to achieve eclipse-like behaviour with "The XXX view/editor is associated with YYY perspective.. do you want to switch?" dialog. How could I implement it? Or is it already provided?
2) When I have some editor opened and switch to the logging perspective, the editor is not displayed (and must not be), but its toolbar is (the toolbar corresponding to last active editor is shown) - how could I force platform to refresh toolbar when editor is not active?
Refactoring the logging view as an editor is not an option.

How is the request to open the editor being done? If you are doing it,
then you would have the opportunity to open a dialog and switch
perspectives before calling openEditor(*).

There are ways to request that the action bars be updated, but I don't
think it will help. The Editor is still the activeEditor, even if it is
not the activePart, and the editor contributed toolbars should still be
visible.
