Layouts for adding Views to the workbench [message #222858]

Hi All,

Is there anyway of changing the layout manager which determines how the
views are layed out in the workbench? I would like to have some
fixed-size views which react to resize events more like a flow layout.

Is it possible to have a view which contains other views?

Is it possible to have multiple instances of the same view class? (with
names determined at run time?)

Many Thanks

I'm pretty sure I've seen each of these raised in Bugzilla at some
point. The second one is at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38543 (I know that one
because I reported it ;-)

Try searching the bugs to find the appropriate reports - if you can't,
create your own feature request(s).

HTH,
Eric

There is no way to change the layout manager for views or to create
recursive views. However, there has been some discussion about adding
these as RCP features in the (distant) future.

What exact behavior are you trying to produce with fixed-size views?

Eclipse 3.0 allows multiple instances of the same view class.
