Setting the default perspective [message #448779]

Hi,

I have created new perspective for my plugin, but I want not only to
display it on user's demand, but I want it to be set on the start up of
my plugin. Can anyone help me, how achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Jakub Jurkiewicz

default perspectives are per-product, not per plugin. You would have to
update plugins/org.eclipse.sdk_3.*/plugin_customization.ini
the line:
org.eclipse.ui/defaultPerspectiveId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaP erspective

There is also WorkbenchAdvisor.getInitialWindowPerspectiveId(), but I
think that method is only invoked when there is no saved state.

When I start eclipse this change in plugin_customization.ini works, but
when I run my plugin it doesn't work anymore.
Any other ideas?

Try preferences.ini in your plug-in. (See Section 19.2 and 13.5 of
McAffer and Lemiux's RCP book)
