I'm working through the "Eclipse Rich Client Platform" book using Eclipse
3.2.2. The book was written for Eclipse 3.1, but they have updated sample
code for 3.2. On page 63 in the book, they add a new view without using a
wizard. You are instructed to add the extension "org.eclipse.ui.views"
and the right-click on the extension and select New > view.
When I do this, the only options on the context menu are "Generic" and
"Extension" -- there is no "view" option. I've tried to muddle past this
using the wizard, which generates a view. The wizard also creates a
category, which I'm guessing is new to 3.2. I've tried deleting the
category to make it look like the example. However, when I add the code
as indicated in the book and then run the application as instructed on
page 67, my Contacts view doesn't display.
I've tried using the compare feature to compare my code to the sample
code, and I can't see what's wrong. I've checked the book's web site and,
except for the updated samples, I can't find any notes about issues using
the book with Eclipse 3.2.
It seems that others must have run across this. Should I load 3.1 just to
go through the book? Is there some documentation for using this book with
3.2? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First you need to add the org.eclipse.ui.views extension. Right click,

select org.eclipse.ui.views. Then right click on this extension and
select new -> view.
This seems to work in 3.3 and it should work in 3.2.
Cheers,

Sorry, after re-reading your question, maybe you have added the
org.eclipse.ui.views. Are you sure you have the right dependencies
setup? Make sure org.eclipse.ui is added to you lits of dependencies.
Good luck :)

I don't have eclipse open right now (I will look more closely when i get

there, it is probably using one in the super class.
Again, I don't have eclipse open, so if this doesn't work just ignore me :)

Putting super.initialize(configurer); in the initialize method of the
ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor did not change the behavior. So it still does
not show the view with the setSaveAndRestore(true). Thanks.
