Win2K (R2.0.2, but by the time we do this, it may be R2.x or even 3.x)
So, we create one or more plugins, add a bunch of features, and are
ready to package and ship our thing. Our features include new Views,
new Search-Pages, new toolbar-items, etc. When the user starts up our
plugin for the first time, those Views, Search-Pages, toolbar-items,
etc. will not be visble, and the new user will have to hunt through
various guis to find them (Show View, or customize Search, or customize
perspective, or whatever).
Is there any way to arrange that they all (Views, Search-Pages,
toolar-items, etc.) are "on" *immediately*, as soon as the plugin runs?
(I know they stay "on" once they have been turned "on", but how to get
them to be "on" right from the start, when it is most crucial for a new
user that everything be clear?)
Thanks,
Paul K

Default views, actions, etc. are configured per perspective in plugin.xml.
If you arrange for the right default perspective to come up, it can be made
to look the way you want.

Search the help "customizing product" which shows some customizing
actions. Like telling eclipse which perspective to start with. Perhaps
something in there would be of help.
