I have an RCP with a boring perspective. So when my fancy plugin is activated, I want to switch to
the perspective of the plugin when the editor of this plugin is activated.
How should I do that?
Thanks,
Jeroen.

After some workbench errors and other 'challenges', I found a solution:
In my plugin.java I write in the constructor:
getWorkbench().getPerspectiveRegistry().setDefaultPerspectiv e( "designer.perspective1");

I'm not sure if this is the best place, but anyhow, it works.
Regards,
Jeroen.

I was cheering to soon. Now every time I start the RCP, it gives an error about not being able to
restore the "designer" perspective. That's probably because the designer is not known at that
specific moment.
Where should I put this switch perspective?
