ment 3.0 :D Rechecked with Version: 3.0.1 Build id: 200409161125 This is not a regression. @@@@ Still remains the problem how to place the first view if you do not have an editor area. One could use:
/** {@inheritDoc} */
public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false);
layout.addView(
"rcp.view",
IPageLayout.TOP,
IPageLayout.RATIO_MAX,
IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
}
But shouldn't it be also possible via the manifest?
Also, as far as I know standalone="true" showTitle="false" cannot be set in createInitialLayout(IPageLayout). For the original problem, I suspect that it's just not handling the editor area special case, whether or not it is visible. But yes, this should be possible via the manifest. For standalone views in the perspective factory, use IPageLayout.addStandaloneView instead. Sebastian, if you wanted to apply your patching skills here, it would be appreciated. I'm going to take a look at it tonight or tomorrow. Grr... <slaps his forehead>
>>relative="org.eclipse.editorss"
Forgot the "ui".
While I was debugging I realized that a view is registered under "org.eclipse.ui.internal.introview". Is there a reason why this isn't done in the intro plugin? The workbench provides the view that contains the intro part. org.eclipse.ui.intro doesn't know that it's a view. For the original problem, was there nothing in the log? Seems like the error reporting could be improved if not. Moving to VERIFIED state. Note that you can use IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA instead of inlining the string yourself. |

The underlying problem is: how to you place a view in a perspective when there is no editor area and no other views?
