I would like to create a view which would always be in the upper left corner of the window, any ideas?

hello,

use the perspective to achieve this.

step-1
define your custom perspective

import org.eclipse.ui.IPageLayout;

public class CustomPerspective implements IPerspectiveFactory {

public static final String ID = "YOUR.CUSTOM.PERSPECTIVE.ID";

@Override
public void createInitialLayout(final IPageLayout layout) {
final String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea();
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(true);
layout.addStandaloneView(YOUR.VIEW.ID, true,
IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.21f, editorArea);
layout.getViewLayout(YOUR.VIEW.ID).setCloseable(
false);
}
}

step-2
implement the following method in ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor.

@Override
public String getInitialWindowPerspectiveId() {
return CustomPerspective .ID;
}

note, you will have to register this entry in 'org.eclipse.ui.perspectives' extension point with YOUR.CUSTOM.PERSPECTIVE.ID

regards,
sudesh
