you mean you would like the open perspective dropdown to show you only
the 4 perspectives you've already defined? That can be done by either
adding the perspective shortcuts in each IPerspectiveFactory you create
or creating an org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions with a target of '*'.

Or are you asking that when you switch to perspective B, you can only
see B,D,and E in the bar and perspective A should have disappeared?

Thank you for the reply..
But here a small correction is when i open perspective "B" i should show only see my own perspectives like "F" and "E" how can i add these and none of other perspectives like "A" ,"C" and "D" should not be viewed in "B" perspective..

configurer.setShowPerspectiveBar(true);

After putting this i can see open perspective by clicking on that button i can see all perspectives which are defined in WorkBench.How can i filter perspectives which i want to show.

Add them where? in the perspective bar itself, which represents the
already open perspectives? Or in the Open Perspective dropdown menu
(which are called Perspective Shortcuts)?

Things only show up in the perspective bar if they are open. And once
open, they stay in the bar.

What shows up in the dropdown menu (perspective shortcuts) is controlled
by the active perspective. So you can only have E and F in the dropdown
menu for B, if that's what you want.

You can't. You could open perspective F (based on an
IPerspectiveListener and probably an asyncExec(*)), but that would
actually switch the user *to* perspective F. If you automated switching
to F and then back, you would get a lot of flicker.

The perspective bar is a record of the perspectives the user has open.
That's it. The only modification I've seen is that RCP apps can provide
a plugin_customization.ini for PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS to "pre-open"
perspectives other than the default.

Another option is that you don't use the perspective bar at all.
Instead, use org.eclipse.ui.menus to provide your own perspective bar,
and manage the entire thing (what perspectives are open, and which ones
are visible in the bar) yourself.

See the API and/or javadoc for org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage. You don't want to close the page, only a perspective.
