Hi,

I have been developing plugins based on eclipse 3.5.2. Now I want to migrate to eclipse 4.2. I had read that the older api would still work without any issues, but I am unable to import "org.eclipse.ui.internal.PageLayout", the methods "((WorkbenchPage)page).getActivePerspective()" and saveDesc() of the org.eclipse.ui.internal.Perspective class is giving me a compile time error.

"internal" means what it says: that stuff is internal and can
change/disappear anytime as you already noticed.

I am not questioning the change. I just wanted to know what are the corresponding changes that I would need to make so as to get the code working.

Rohan,

There's IWorkBenchPage.getPerspective, IWorkbenchPage.savePerspective,
and IWorkbenchPackage.getWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage(). I imagine
among those you'd have what you need.
