Hello gang,

can I open a perspective and have an editor already shown? The method

public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout)

and layout object allows me to add views (as well as the plugin.xml) but
no editor. I can ask the workbench to show the editor area but how can I
add editors to the perspective? I understand that editors are usually
added via an action but what if I want the user to start editing a emtpy
input as soon as he sees the the perspective? Any idea is welcome.

Tks JG

Use this to open an editor:

IDE.openEditor(getWorkbenchPage(), <IFile>, true);
