perspectiveExtensions: views and placeholders [message #467281]

Hi all,

I am wondering how I could implement the following use case: In my RCP app's initial perspective I want to create an initial layout: editor area visible and a placeholder for (unknown) views left to the editor area.

The problem is that declared perspectiveExtensions can only stack on existing views, but my main application bundle should not define any view. All views should be contributed by other bundles.

How could I specify a placeholder in my layout so that other views could stack on it? Is there a best practice to deal with my problem?

Thanx

Kai

I found a solution:

IPlaceholderFolderLayout fl = layout.createPlaceholderFolder("com.siemens.ct.mp3m.ui.views ", IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.20f, IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);

Using placeholder folders works with 3.2 and 3.3.
