Replacing the debug perspective with my own [message #336351] Tue, 09 June 2009 13:02 Go to next message

Hi,

I wish to replace the standard Debug perspective
(org.eclipse.debug.ui.DebugPerspective) wiht my own.

I have created the perspective and it works as I want, but I can't work
out how to make it the 'default'. I can change it through the UI, but I
want to set it programmatically.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by making it the "default." Do you mean
that whenever you launch a program in debug mode, it should switch to
your custom perspective? If so, you can control that in the Preferences;
just type "perspectives" in the search field of the Preferences dialog
and you'll find the appropriate page.

By the way, another option would be to just customize the Debug
perspective the way you want it and then save it under the same name.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn't help. See comments below:

Yes, this is what I want.

No, I want to do this programmatically. I want this behavior for the
users of my Eclipse-based product.

I would take a look at the code of that preferences page to see what it
does behind the scenes. Use Plug-in Spy to find the class that
implements the preferences page.

Hope this helps,
Eric
