Hi,

In my RCP application I run two plug-ins. Both of them provide a perspective. Both plug-ins use the same socket address (IP + port number) for network communication. When changing perspective the inactive perspective/plug-in must free the socket otherwise the active perspective/plug-in can't initialize its socket.

I have a listener in my RCP application's ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor which could perhaps take care of the needed action:

/**
* Listener for perspective changes.
 */
private IPerspectiveListener listener = new IPerspectiveListener() {
	public void perspectiveActivated(IWorkbenchPage page, IPerspectiveDescriptor perspective) {
		// Close all open editors when changing perspective
			page.closeAllEditors(true);
			
			// TODO:
			// Take action to close all open socket connections when switching perspectives.
		}
		public void perspectiveChanged(IWorkbenchPage page, IPerspectiveDescriptor perspective, String changeId) {
			// No action
		}
	};


Can anybody give me a hint how to access the inactive perspective/plug-in to close the sockets? Any other ideas?
Thank you!

Hey Mathias,

You are on the right track check out IPerspectiveListener3 and IPerspectiveListener4. The ladder has a preDeactivate method which allows you to perform actions before a perspective is destroyed.

The exact API is here:
