Hi,

I have created a perspective as ABC. One of the view in this perspective is a TELNET view. The TELNET view extends ViewPart. When the view is opened in ABC perspective and I switch to DEBUG perspective, I want the TELNET view to be retained.
Following is the entry in plugin.xml;

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<category
id="com.abc.tde.core.abcCategory"
name="ABC"/>
<view
allowMultiple="true"
category="com.abc.tde.core.abcCategory"
class="com.abc.telnet.client.ui.TelnetView"
icon="icons/telnet.gif"
restorable="false"
id="com.abc.telnet.client.ui.TelnetView"
name="TelnetView"/>
</extension>

On Indigo Eclipse, I added the STICKY VIEW and passed the view ID of the TELNET view, and the view was retained in DEBUG perspective. However, after migrating to KEPLER (Eclipse 4.3.2), the sticky view isn't working.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<category id="com.abc.tde.core.abcCategory"
name="ABC"/>
<view
allowMultiple="true"
category="com.abc.tde.core.abcCategory"
class="com.abc.telnet.client.ui.TelnetView"
icon="icons/telnet.gif"
restorable="false"
id="com.abc.telnet.client.ui.TelnetView"
name="TelnetView"/>
<stickyView
closeable="true"
id="com.abc.telnet.client.ui.TelnetView"
location="BOTTOM"
moveable="true">
</stickyView>
</extension>

Appreciate, if someone helps me out with this issue.

Regards,
