Hi,

how can I add a View to IFolderLayout when I have to use secondary ID.
I want to have 3 Consoles displayed one next to the other. In 3.x I used the secondary ID but this
does not work with e4.
I found in class ModeledPageLayout the method createViewModel does not handle the secondary ID.

the wanted layout:

+--------------------------------------+
| | |
|project | editor area |
|explorer | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+--------------------------------------+
| | | |
| console 1 | console 2 | console 3 |
| | | |
+--------------------------------------+

You're using IPageLayout and when you add views with secondary IDs and run on 3.x it works, but when you run on 4.2 it doesn't?

yes on 3.x it works but not on 4.2

Below the relevant code snipped.

public class Perspective implements IPerspectiveFactory {

public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout pLayout) {
String editorArea = pLayout.getEditorArea();
addConsoleAndFolder(pLayout, IConstants.CONSOLE_NAME_APSERVER, IPageLayout.BOTTOM, 0.66f, editorArea);
addConsoleAndFolder(pLayout, IConstants.CONSOLE_NAME_PSC, IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.66f,
IConstants.CONSOLE_NAME_APSERVER);
addConsoleAndFolder(pLayout, IConstants.CONSOLE_NAME_ATM, IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.5f,
IConstants.CONSOLE_NAME_APSERVER);

// Top left: Project Explorer view and Bookmarks view placeholder
IFolderLayout topLeft = pLayout.createFolder("topLeft", IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.20f, editorArea);
topLeft.addView(IPageLayout.ID_PROJECT_EXPLORER);
topLeft.addPlaceholder(IPageLayout.ID_BOOKMARKS);

}

/**
* Creates a new console in the given folder and make the view visiable by calling {@link
IWorkbenchPage#showView(String, String, int)}.
*
* @param pFolder
* @param pConsoleName
*/
protected void addConsole(IFolderLayout pFolder, String pConsoleName) {
pFolder.addView(IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW + ":" + pConsoleName);
ConsoleWriter.findConsole(pConsoleName);//creates a new console if not aready exists with name
"pConsoleName"
IWorkbench lWb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow lWindow = lWb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage lPage = lWindow.getActivePage();
try {
if (null != lPage) {
lPage.showView(IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW, pConsoleName, IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_VISIBLE);
}
} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

/**
* Add a console and new console and folder. The name of the console and folder is the same by
using <code>pConsoleName</code> This methods calls
* {@link IPageLayout#createFolder(String, int, float, String)};
*
* @param pLayout
* The initial page layout.
* @param pConsoleName
* The name of the console and folder.
* @param pRelationship
* @param pRatio
* @param pRefId
* @return
*/
protected IFolderLayout addConsoleAndFolder(IPageLayout pLayout, String pConsoleName, int
pRelationship, float pRatio, String pRefId) {
IFolderLayout lRet = pLayout.createFolder(pConsoleName, pRelationship, pRatio, pRefId);
addConsole(lRet, pConsoleName);
return lRet;
}
}

In the mean time I found how to defined a perspective in fragment.e4xmi by adding a perspective
under Application#snipped.
And I can add placeholders for the Console View. But how can I define 3 console views with different
names?
When I do it by hand and check with the live editor I see the created consoles are placed under
Shared Elements. How can I define this in a fragment.e4xmi?

I have the same problem. It looks like the secondary id is ignored in e4.

Here is my code:

Place holder defined in perspective:

final IPlaceholderFolderLayout left = layout.createPlaceholderFolder(Position.LEFT.name(),
IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.25f, editor);
left.addPlaceholder("myView:*Left");


Code to open a new view in left:

page.showView("myView","2Left", IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_ACTIVATE);

The above code worked with Eclipse 3.x but won't work for e4.

Maybe there is new way to do this in e4?

With which version 4.2 or 4.3? If you can reproduce with the latest 4.3
build please file a bugzilla with a sample to reproduce it.
