Hide views in RCP application - custom perspective [message #1779520]

In my IDE based Eclipse application there is some views, I don't need, for example Outline view, or Tasks. So far I have found some solutions, to do that using activities or perspectives, but the problem is, it works with menu commands. I want to prepare my custom perspective at the launch of IDE. Which class or interface should I implement to intercept the behavior of Eclipse on startup?

The easiest approach is to customize the default perspective by removing those unnecessary views, and then using Window > Perspective > Save Perspective As... and replace the default perspective.

If you've defined your own perspective via the org.eclipse.ui.perspectives extension point, then you can launch with "-perspective perspectiveId" to use your perspective as the default. You can also do this using the "-pluginCustomization" to specify `org.eclipse.ui/defaultPerspectiveId` property to specify your perspective.

Extension point works for me. Thanks for reply.
