Hi, I am developing an RCP (3.7) application and have enabled the org.eclipse.ui.window.savePerspective command as a menu option so users can create their own perspectives and save them. However, I cannot seem to find an equivalent delete command to add as a menu option so that users can delete perspectives that they no longer need or want. Does anyone know how or even if this can be done?

Thanks,

Luc

Hi Luc,

You can delete perspectives in the Preferences/General/Perspectives. I don't
know how this can be done programmatically but it should now not be hard to
find out. ;)

Best regards,

Wim

Thanks Wim. I realize this is a little late, but this is how I solved it ... I created a command with the following class handler:

@SuppressWarnings("restriction")
public class DeletePerspectiveHandler implements IHandler {

@Override
public void addHandlerListener(IHandlerListener handlerListener)
{
//
}

@Override
public void dispose()
{
//
}

@Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException
{
IWorkbench wb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow win = wb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = win.getActivePage();
IPerspectiveDescriptor perspective = page.getPerspective();

PerspectiveRegistry perspRegistry = (PerspectiveRegistry) WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getPerspectiveRegistry();

page.closePerspective(perspRegistry.findPerspectiveWithId(perspective.getId()), false, false);
perspRegistry.deletePerspective(perspRegistry.findPerspectiveWithId(perspective.getId()));

return null;
}

@Override
public boolean isEnabled()
{
return true;
}

@Override
public boolean isHandled()
{
return true;
}

@Override
public void removeHandlerListener(IHandlerListener handlerListener)
{
//
}
}


If anyone knows a better way, please let me know.

Thanks,

Luc
