Hi,
i have an rcp application in which there is a perspective,
In createInitialLayout i have added
partlisteners,windowlistener,workbenchlistenere for varies resons,
when i run the application with setSaveAndRestore true,
on restore the createInitialLayout method is not called...
am i adding the listeners in the wrong place...
or is there a workaround for the same....
Also what if i dont want to save and restore my perpective,views(the
application contains many perspectives which need save and restore)
To achieve the above on preshutdown i tryed to close my views which were
opened,but here the problem is it only returns the active perspective
parts...
(i.e if the user in some other perspective on shutdown the views returned
will be of the specific perpective not my perspective)
pls help
---------------------
why, mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist?
Because I Choose To.
Regards,
Vijay

I think in createInitialLayout java doc should contain this info,

ya this is obvious but still it should be....

I do not have access to these classes,since my application startup code is
in a framework which is used as a target platform hence unmodifiable....
what would be the best place to add these listeners so that i do not
accidentally load my plugins on startup and also can moniter perspective
change window states etc...
i know all this is a design issue, but still can you pls suggest a proper
place for adding all the listeners....
Thanks

You can put startup code in your BundleActivator. You could look into the
"org.eclipse.ui.startup" extension point.

I did exactly that only,but using uijod because startup is a non ui
thread..
after doing all that,now there is a new problem....
my application has language change option,on language change and restart
the views are restored but with titles with old language...
on focus of the view only, the titles get updated...
is this a bug or it should be like this?????
