Sample e4 view contribution

The e4 views can not be used in the Eclipse 4.0. Workbench processing assumes that all views are compatibility views (WorkbenchPage.java):

CompatibilityView compatibilityView = (CompatibilityView) part.getObject();

To duplicate:

- Launch Eclipse 4.0 with the atatched bundle
- In the quick access (Ctrl+3) type "cont" and select view "Contexts"
- See the ClassCastException at above line in WorkbenchPage

QuickAccess patch v1

Change the code to open views with e4 APIs instead of 3.x APIs.

Fix released to CVS HEAD. You can now open e4 parts (that have their part descriptors added to the root application) via Ctrl+3.
