Programmatically add a view to a folder [message #287781]

I have a perspective that includes several standalone views and a folder.
In IPerspectiveFactory#createInitialLayout I add a view to the folder
using addView. As a result of later user input, I need to add another view
to the folder. How do I get access to the folder in order to do that?

A colleague of mine stumbled upon the solution looking at the Eclipse code.
Use addPlaceholder on the IPageLayout to add a placeholder for a view id of
"<viewID>:*". I eventually found the bug fix that incorporated this in
release 3.0. I also found the bug fix that updated the JavaDoc - but not
until 3.1RC2. Unfortunately, I had only checked the 3.0.2 documentation.
