Hi all,
I just tried the sample view plugin which is provided by the Eclipse
itself. The plugin.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plugin
id="test"
name="test Plug-in"
version="1.0.0"
provider-name=""
class="test.testPlugin">
<runtime>
<library name="test.jar"/>
</runtime>
<requires>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.core.resources"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.ui"/>
</requires>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<category
name="Sample Category"
id="test">
</category>
<view
name="Sample View"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
category="test"
class="test.views.SampleView"
id="test.views.SampleView">
</view>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
<perspectiveExtension
targetID="org.eclipse.ui.resourcePerspective">
<view
ratio="0.5"
relative="org.eclipse.ui.views.TaskList"
relationship="right"
id="test.views.SampleView">
</view>
</perspectiveExtension>
</extension>
</plugin>
As u can see there are two extension points. What is the need for the
second one (perspectiveExtensions) because when I am removing this second
one there is no effect on the plugin. Also if I change the relationship to
any other (left, top, bottom) then also there is no effect. Why is this so?
I have already read the definition of the perspectiveExtensions Extension
point and I know that it is used to enhance (or work on) the previous
plugins.
Thanks,
Bhaskar

The perspectiveExtensions extension point is used to add things to
perspetives defined by other plugins. In the sample, it is adding the
sample view to the resources perspective.
