Hello.

How can I add my part (defined as 'PartDescriptor' in fragment.e4xmi file in my plugin) into the "Show View" dialog tree (main menu > Window > Show View > Other ...) ?

Based on examination of org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.internal.copy.ViewContentProvider#createChildren source code and based on examination of PartDescriptors of other parts using Live Application Model part I tried to add following tags to my PartDescriptor on Supplementary tab:

View
categoryTag:MyGroup

However, it doesn't work for me. I use Eclipse 4.3 and e4 0.14.

Thans for answers.

I don't think this is the class making up the Show View ... content in
the compat layer which is constructed from IViewDescriptors IIRC. Hence
if you contribute through a fragment it can't show up there.
