When using the RCP, how to I have all the available Perspectives show up
by default in the PerspectiveBar? Right now only the default one shows
up, I have to press the "Other" button to have my other Perspective to
become available, which is very counter-intuitive.
None of the 3 RCP tutorials seem to cover this :-(
thanks in advance,
Jacek

Add it to your perspective factory, for example:
public class MyPerspectiveFactory implements IPerspectiveFactory {
public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
layout.addView("myView1", IPageLayout.TOP, 0.65f,
IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
layout.addView("myView2", IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.75f,
IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(true);
// this adds it to the shortcut list of perspectives
layout.addPerspectiveShortcut("myPerspective1");
layout.addShowViewShortcut("myView1");
layout.addShowViewShortcut("myView2");
}
}

Does that affect the bar too or just the perspective shortcut menu (Window >
Open Perspective)?

createInitialLayout() ) , and it never breaks in .... but the workbench
is successuflly started, my view is displayed , but I think that a
coincidence , or something are don't understand yet .
Any idea ?

Probably a typo, I've done it several times myself. Check that the "id" in
the extension and returned by getInitialWindowPerspectiveId match. Also
check the Error Log, there may have been an exception when creating your
factory. Ed may have other ideas (sorry, I am not very familiar with his
tutorial).

Are you including org.eclipse.platform in the set of plugins when launching
your RCP app (i.e. is it selected on the plugins tab of the launch
configuration)?
If so, then it sets the default preference setting for the initial
perspective in its plugin_customization.ini file. This will override the
advisor's getInitialWindowPerspectiveId() (as described in the Javadoc for
it).

IPageLayout.addPerspectiveShortcut just adds shortcuts from the perspective
(as shown in Window > Open Perspective in the IDE), it does not open them.
Try using IWorkbench.showPerspective(perspectiveId, window) from within the
advisor's postWindowOpen method.

I've checked the tipo times and times.
I've also checked that org.eclipse.platform was not included in my
plugin list.
Still the same .... until I decided to check "Clear workspace data
before launching" in the Runtime Workbench configuration : then it
worked ! may be a configuration problem since I upgraded from RC to 3.0
release ...
Thanks ,
Nicolas.

Ah sorry, I should have mentioned that one. A less dramatic approach is to
check the "clear configuration" choice on the third page of the launch
configuration. That tells the runtime to regenerate all the manifest.mf
files. It seems to cure a lot of "my plug-in isn't recognized" woes.
Similar hints for a deployed environment: (1) Specify -clean as a command
line option [one time only], or (2) more extreme, delete all the
subdirectories in the eclipse\configuration (leave the config.ini).
