Setting my own perspective [message #542485]

Fri, 25 June 2010 01:07

Eclipse User

Hi,

I have created my own perspective for my plug-in. Whenever I launch Eclipse, Java perspective is getting opened by default. I need to set manually my perspective after launching of Eclipse.

Is there any way by which I can set my perspective as default, so that only my perspective will be opened during launching of eclipse.

Regards,
Akash Mahakode

For your install, you can add the command line to eclipse.ini, one token
per line:
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html

If you are creating your own RCP/Product, you can include a
plugin_customization.ini (similar to the one in
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk_3.6.0.v201006080911

--launcher.library

-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
-showsplash

I have added -perspective option in last and my perspective is AkkidePerspective.

Does it come up? :-)

It should be the perspective ID as defined in your plugin.xml. The 2
lines (one for -perspective and one for the perspective ID) need to be
before -vmargs

to do that you need to provide a plugin_customization.ini (similar to
the one in eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk_3.6.0.v201006080911). You
can set the default perspective in that one:

org.eclipse.ui/defaultPerspectiveId=org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaP erspective

Normally one is provided with the product, but there's a runtime option
to specify one.

See org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants
