perspective Shortcut [message #329523] Thu, 26 June 2008 23:03 Go to next message

Hi All,

I wish to add the perspective i've created to the menu in "Open
Perspective" in java perspective...rather than having to click "Other"
and then select my perspective.

My plugin.xml looks like this
.....
<perspectiveExtension
targetID="my.perspective.id">
<perspectiveShortcut
id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective">
</perspectiveShortcut>
</perspectiveExtension>

Yet I do not get the shortcut in the menu.Can someone please clarify
this situation?

Thanks in advance,
Prasad

I think you have to two IDs mixed up. The perspectiveExtension targetID
is the perspective that you are targeting to put a shortcut in, so
should be the Java Perspective ID. The perspectiveShortcut id is the id
of the plugin you want a shortcut to, so should be your perspective's id.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks it works fine now. I should have figured this out from the
structure of the tags in plugin.xml
