Reassigning view categories [message #642730]

An RCP application that incorporates views from other plugins (e.g.
third-party-plugins) would sometimes like to associate a different view
category for selection in the Show View dialog. But usually such a
third-party plugin also defines a corresponding view category and thus
fixes this name.

Is there some way to "override" the name of such a view category?
Actually, I'm not interested in modifying the name of someone else's
view category, but want to realize to provide this view in a different
group field in the "Show View..." dialog if this makes a difference.

I was searching for something like the perspectiveExtensions that allows
to customize an RCP applcation even in the presence of third-party
contributions, but did not find yet anything comparable.

Thanks & Greetings from Bremen,
