Perspective defined in XML [message #291111]

Hello all,

I've heard a rumour that it is possible to define a perspective in XML
as opposed to having to write a class for for it.
However I've not been able to find any information or mention of it on
Eclipse site or forums.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
Brian

The documentation for the plugin perspective extension makes it clear that you need to supply a class that implements the right interface:

http://help.eclipse.org/help30/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_perspectives .html

However, you can define 'perspective extensions' that allow you to contribute other views into an already existing perspective:

http://help.eclipse.org/help30/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_p erspectiveExtensions.html

This of course requires that there be a perspective in the first place. You could use the 'Resource' perspective if you don't want to create your own.
