I'm experiencing some problems to reproduce the behaviour I previously achieved with eclipse 3.x RCP.

How do I say in Application.e4xmi that my perspective should have navigator view on the left and eclipse properties on the bottom of an editor area.

For starters, I'm adding PartSashContainer, and a Part inside, however it requires us to define ClassURI, and I dont know it.


Previously I had something like this:
 String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea();
// Top left: Project Explorer view and Bookmarks view placeholder
IFolderLayout topLeft = layout.createFolder("topLeft", IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.15f,
		    editorArea);
topLeft.addView(IPageLayout.ID_RES_NAV);

// Bottom left: Outline view and Property Sheet view
IFolderLayout bottomLeft = layout.createFolder("bottomLeft", IPageLayout.BOTTOM, 0.80f,editorArea);
		 
		 bottomLeft.addView(IPageLayout.ID_PROP_SHEET);
		 bottomLeft.addView("com.sinfic.agora.editors.markers.customMarker");
		 bottomLeft.addView(IPageLayout.ID_PROBLEM_VIEW);

		 layout.getViewLayout(IPageLayout.ID_PROP_SHEET).setMoveable(true);
		 layout.getViewLayout(IPageLayout.ID_PROBLEM_VIEW).setMoveable(true);
		 layout.getViewLayout(IPageLayout.ID_RES_NAV).setMoveable(true);

		 // Bottom right: Task List vie
		 layout.setFixed(false);


How should I do it in eclipse e4?

Thanks in advance.

You can insert 3.x view with this:

the initial perspective is done in the e4xmi

Thanks for replying. I've another question, will these views be supported in the future, when compatability layer doesn't exist.

There will be a way to reference properties, markers, project explorer, etc.
Will they be contributed by extension points as well?


I'm asking because I'm starting up a new project, with graphiti plugins and I contribute to properties view, and I'm wondering if I should to define a custom properties view on my own.

Can anyone advise me bearing in mind that the project is suposed to be supported in future eclipse releases.

Thanks in advance
Rui
