Hi all,
don't know if possible, but I'd like to have the editor area of a perspective to be not visible when the perspective is opened, to be shown when it needs and to disappear again when the editor is closed. Actually, if I set layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false); in the perspective factory I obtain the first two steps: the editor area is not visible until the user explicitly opens it, but when the editor is closed, the editor area remains visible. Is it possible to hide again the editor area and resize the views accordingly?

Add a part listener(org.eclipse.ui.IPartListener) to your workbench page . Implement this method org.eclipse.ui.IPartListener.partClosed(IWorkbenchPart)

	public void partClosed(IWorkbenchPart part) {
		IWorkbenchPage activePage = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
		if (activePage.getEditorReferences().length == 0) {
			activePage.setEditorAreaVisible(false);
		}
	}

Regards,
Prasad

Great! Even if I changed the code to avoid null pointer exception on workbench exit:

public void partClosed(IWorkbenchPart part) {
	
	IWorkbenchPage activePage = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
	if( activePage != null )
	    activePage.setEditorAreaVisible( (activePage.getEditorReferences().length > 0 ) );


    }
