Description Raffael Heinzer CLA 2006-09-07 03:10:26 EDT 
Hi there,

We lay out our corporate perspectives ("myPerspective") using folders in our RCP-Apps:

pageLayout.createFolder("myFolder", IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.5f, editorArea);

Then, each corporate domain team stacks their own views on top of these folders using ui.perspectiveExtensions:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
  <perspectiveExtension targetID="myTest.perspective">
    <view id="myView" relationship="stack" relative="myFolder"/>
  </perspectiveExtension>
</extension>

That worked fine with 3.1.
Now that we try to migrate to 3.2, the views are being scattered all around the place and the console tells me "Referenced part does not exist yet: myFolder."
With 3.3 M1 I have the same behaviour.

Any help is appreciated!
