We are migrating an older v3.x RCP application that monitors misc. EMS queues and topics to v4.x. The v3.x compatibility layer works well except that views (viewparts) open in the wrong pane (or "layout folder").
Our perspective so far defined two "folders":
an upper "main area" and a lower "consoleFolder". The "consoleFolder" was just for the console view, "main area" for everything else.
The correct placement was achieved by adding the line
main.addPlaceholder("*"); //$NON-NLS-1$
This doesn't work with v4.x and all views opened later by the user appear in the lower "consoleFolder"-pane. As a Workaround I also tried to "pre-register" all potential views by adding placeholders using their explicit ids, but that doesn't work, either!
How can I force the appearance of additional views in the first "main" folder without major changes to my existing code base?
For reference: the below is my current class, containing both, addPlaceholder(...) by Wildcard and addPlaceholder(...) by explicit ID, but neither of these works!
Any ideas or suggestions?
public class Perspective implements IPerspectiveFactory {
@Override
public void createInitialLayout(final IPageLayout layout) {
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false);
layout.setFixed(false);
final IFolderLayout main = layout.createFolder("main area", IPageLayout.TOP, 0.7f, layout.getEditorArea()); //$NON-NLS-1$
main.addView(IPadMockViewPart.ID);
main.addPlaceholder("*"); //$NON-NLS-1$
// the addPlaceHolder(...) with wildcards does not work in Eclipse 4.x (see bug https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/358552/)
// thus trying to add individual placeholders: - this doesn't work, either :-(
main.addPlaceholder(EmsConnectionStatusViewPart.ID);
main.addPlaceholder(EmsDeliveryStatusViewPart.ID);
main.addPlaceholder(EmsQueueViewPart.ID);
main.addPlaceholder(EmsTopicViewPart.ID);
main.addPlaceholder(EmsQueueSenderViewPart.ID);
final IFolderLayout consoleFolder = layout.createFolder("console area", IPageLayout.BOTTOM, 0.3f, //$NON-NLS-1$
layout.getEditorArea());
consoleFolder.addView(ConsoleViewPart.ID);
}
