execute code if perspective is switched [message #279773]

Hi there!
I have implemented a plug-in which adds a new perspective to Eclipse. Now
my question is: Is it possible to execute code every time my perspective
is opened or a user switches from a different perspective to my
perspective? Where do I have to put my code or what method do I have to
override.

What I actually would like to do is that when the user switches to my
perspective I want to close all open editors and if the user switches back
I want to reopen these editors. Further I would like to activate my
console when my perspective is opened.

I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a hint.
Thanks, Tom

Implement IPerspectiveListener and pass it to
IWorkbenchWindow.addPerspectiveListener.
The workbench can give you your current workbench window.
