Hi, the code you need is:
IWorkbenchPage activePage = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
		
String viewIdToClose = OneView.ID;
IViewReference viewToClose = activePage.findViewReference(viewIdToClose);
activePage.hideView(viewToClose);
		
try {
	String viewIdToOpen = OtherView.ID;
	activePage.showView(viewIdToOpen);
} catch (PartInitException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}

Hi there,
I am facing a similar problem like above. The code delivered in this thread works quite fine, but does not cover my problem completely.

I need to open two views when the top one (like a welcome page similar to the eclipse welcome page) closes. One of the views is supposed to open on the left side holding a picklist and the second view will manage the content of the item to be picked. As a standalone without the welcome page this works fine.

Right now, I am able to open both views (picklist and content) from the welcome view, but they appear just as two tabs on top of each other, which cuts the usability extremly down.

As a newby to Eclipse RCP I am running out of ideas. I tried a little bit to work with placeholders, but did not come to a sattisfying solution.

Any idea is more than welcome.

Thanks for your time
TG
