Hi all,
Only just a few hours into the E4 docs and examples so hopefully my
questions make sense.
In E4 are/will there be support for Perspectives? If not, could somewhat
similar behavior be implemented by having a Handler that manages the
visibility of Parts? If so, is there a way to get a handle to the UI
Model from within a Handler?
Please feel free to just point me in the direction of existing docs if
that is appropriate.
Exciting stuff!
Thanks,
Jesse

Hi,
Yes there are perspectives. They are part of the Workbench-Model.

Thanks. It's good to know what's still up in the air and what's more
concrete. This is really neat stuff, by the way.
Yet another question. Tom showed me where the Workbench was in the model,
but now I have a few more follow up questions:
How do I create an RCP Application that makes use of the Workbench model?
In particular, I'm looking for the Perspectives. I realize that
MWorkbench contains MWorkbenchWindows which are themselves MWindows. So I
believe that means that they may somehow be able to be incorporated into
the MApplication container, but I can't figure out how my *.xmi file
should look (especially when trying to use the *.xmi editor).
Also, how do you create an *.xmi from scratch? I ended up bringing in the
org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.workbench code into my workspace and generating
and running the editor from it, but is there a better way?
Thanks,
Jesse
