Assume that in my RCP I have four plug-ins, that (amongst other things) have the following functionality.

rcp.my.core - declares an empty perspective
rcp.my.gefeditor - implements a GEF editor
rcp.my.navigation - provides a navigation view
rcp.my.console - provides a custom console view

The navigation view is left-relative to org.eclipse.ui.editorss (ratio: 0.2f).
The custom console view is bottom-relative to org.eclipse.ui.editorss (ratio: 0.8f).

The way the workbench looks when I run my product is like this:

--------------------------------
| N |                           |
| A |                           |
| V |                           |
| I |                           |
| G |                           |
| A |                           |
| T |                           |
| I |                           |
| O |                           |
| N |                           |
--------------------------------
| CUSTOM CONSOLE VIEW           |
--------------------------------

However, I want it to look like this:

--------------------------------
| N |                           |
| A |                           |
| V |                           |
| I |                           |
| G |                           |
| A |                           |
| T |                           |
| I |                           |
| O |---------------------------|
| N | CUSTOM CONSOLE VIEW       |
--------------------------------

My simple question is: what am I doing wrong?

As I don't want to introduce unnecessary dependencies, I have added the view to the core perspective declaratively. Is this an issue of in which order the plugins are started?
