Hello,
What's the ID of the Java Perspective? When I launch my plugin as an Eclipse Application, I want to pass to the program arguments in run configurations the option -perspective org.eclipse.[Java Perspective]. But I can't find the name of the perspective. Please tell me!

Or is there another way to launch Eclipse with the Java perspective? Because when I debug my plugin, Eclipse always opens in Resource perspective and I don't want to do the extra mouseclicks to switch to Java.

Hi Jonas,

There is another way to launch your eclipse plugin in Java perspective by default. If your plugin is contributing to the base eclipse extension point, for instance, for a new wizard, eclipse provides org.eclipse.ui.newWizards extension point, and when you contribute to this point via plugin.xml, you'll find that in the new wizard entry you are contributing, there is a field named 'finalPerspective' in which you can add the plugin id/symbolic name of java perspective plugin. I provide the sample code below which shows how to add this.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards">
<wizard
class="com.clazz.template.wizard.controller.NewWizardMainPage"
descriptionImage="META-INF/icons/character_map.png"
finalPerspective="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective"
hasPages="true"
icon="META-INF/icons/character_map.png"
id="com.clazz.template.wizard.JavaClassWizard"
name="Java Class"
project="false">
<description>
Wizard to create a new java class.
</description>
<selection
class="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
</selection>
</wizard>

</extension>

Thanks and Regards,
Tanmay Wani

Find file org.eclipse.jdt.ui/plugin.xml and look at the extensions tab:
Under org.eclipse.ui.perspectives it lists the Java perspective and two others.
In the details you find id: org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective.

HTH,
Stephan
