Tiling/divide the editor work area [message #296909]

Hi!

Eclipse platform enables to have several editor areas inside editor part
(area). "You can use drag and drop to modify the layout of your editor
work area. Grab an editor tab and drag it to the edge of the editor work
area. The arrow dock icons indicate which way the editor work area will
split."

I want know how is possible to implement/use this feature programatic way.
I.e. I have some plug-in and want split editor area to two (or more)
areas, preferably do it on the plugin startup.

Is it possible and how is possible if possible? :)

Many thanks in advance!

AT.

The short answer is, no.

That being said, there are some tests in org.eclipse.ui.tests that split
the editor area by faking the drag and drop that a user would do, like
Bug95357Test. Of course, they use internal methods since there is no
API to split the area.
