Hi !

I am developping an application where I want to display more than one
instance of a same view type (that could more than one navigator for
example).
New instances can be added dynamically. As far as I understand, for each
extension (of the view extension point), I can only have one instance
managed by a workbench page. Is there a way around that ?

Thanks for your help, Pierre

--------------------------
Allowing multiple instances of the same view in the same perspective is
something we have resisted in the past since we felt it would complicate
the UI.
However, in R3.0 we are trying to improve the scalability of the UI by
reducing the number of duplicate or highly similar views (e.g. we're
working on a generic navigator view and also a generic console view). This
may exacerbate the limitation of one view instance, since there are times
you want to see two facets of the same info simultaneously.

Could you please add your comments to our existing feature request for
this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31612

If you have any suggestions for how to present this in the UI, feel free
to include those as well.

Thanks,
Nick
