Is it possible to put views and editors into the same folder layout?

My application has Views and editors that need to go into the same area. Sometimes they can view graphs, but then I want tabs where they can also edit the data from those graphs. It wouldn't make sense to the user to put the graphs in one pane and then the editor in another.

Not in 3.x but in 4.x. Not sure the compat layer allows this through API
but at runtime it works without problems.

Hmm. Guess I'll just have to do a workaround and make any editors I want from views. I was wanting to use the forms api too. Don't think it's possible to use that inside a view since it's extended from EditorPart.

Hello,

the Forms API itself can be accessed by the org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.FormToolkit.

For further information see this article: www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Forms/article.html

Best regards,

Simon

The low-level forms API can be used anywhere and is not bound to Editors
or Views.

I'd suggest to go with views and ISaveablePart2 interface in there.
Editors can't be bound to a perspective and are visible in any you have
that shows and editor-area.
