Prevent a view from releasing [message #661129]

How could I customize the release view operation (currently put under
perspective.viewfactory.releaseview()) such that do NOT release a
particular view even there is no more reference?

Thanks

you can't change that, when there are no more references the view will
be destroyed. The best you can do is save some state in your plugin
somewhere so that if the user re-creates the view you can get back to a
"good" state.

Already did. My goal is to shorten the view-recreation time.

As long as the view is not disposed (e.g. opened in another
perspective), opening it is instant.

It the view is hidden from all perspective (and disposed), opening shows
a noticable lag-time (no measurement, I should say 0.5~1s).

Any help?

The framework won't help you with that. 2 suggestions:

1) save as much data as you can so you can re-create quickly and 2)
don't do things like re-connect or complex loading in the UI thread i.e.
createPartControl(*).

If re-creating your data is going to take a long time, create your
SWT/JFace controls in createPartControl(*) and start a
org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.Job to recreate your data ... when the Job
is ready, update your view.
