Description Dmitry Spiridenok CLA 2014-04-22 10:25:53 EDT 
I created one Wizard and through perspectiveExtensions extension point i'm contributing newWizardShortcut for my wizard to an existing perspective (like Plugin Development Perspective) within an existing workspace. In this case wizard is not showed in that perspective.

Two situations are important to consider while solving this bug:
1. The new wizard is installed in the workspace and the workspace is restarted. The new wizard must be available in the desired perspective after restart.

2. The new wizard is installed and Eclipse is exited. After a new start of Eclipse the wizard must be availalbe in the desired perspective.

Does not work out of the box, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/389851.
So i need to solve this issue first before i can deliver a fix for that problem.
