Hello dear forum members,
I would like to ask you to help with setting up little advanced perspective layout. May blog posts and articles are discouraging from hard-coded perspective layout in IPerspectiveFactory.

I would like to achieve this layout:
index.php/fa/7302/0/

But I am getting:
index.php/fa/7301/0/

Here is excerpt of main plugin's plugin.xml:

  
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectives">
      <perspective
            name="Default perspective"
            class="com.virtage.plexflow.ui.DefaultPerspective"
            id="com.virtage.plexflow.ui.defaultPerspective"
            fixed="false">
      </perspective>
   </extension>

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
      <perspectiveExtension
            targetID="com.virtage.plexflow.ui.defaultPerspective">
         <view
               closeable="false"
               id="org.eclipse.ui.views.ProgressView"
               minimized="false"
               ratio="0.8"
               relationship="bottom"
               relative="org.eclipse.ui.editorss"
               visible="true">
         </view>
      </perspectiveExtension>
   </extension>

From additonal plugin I am trying to contribute to the left pane:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
      <perspectiveExtension
            targetID="com.virtage.plexflow.ui.defaultPerspective">
         <view
               id="com.virtage.plexflow.ui.explorer.PlacesView"
               minimized="false"
               ratio="0.25"
               relationship="left"
               relative="org.eclipse.ui.editorss">
         </view>
      </perspectiveExtension>
   </extension>

Please, how to define <perspectiveExtensions> and <view> to create what is figured on second image?

Thanks.
Libor

I would advise you to create your perspective in your IPerspectiveFactory. Add and position what you want to include in your main perspective correctly.

perspectiveExtensions is for views coming from secondary plugins so they can position themselves correctly in an existing perspective.
