Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2010-07-08 05:55:58 EDT 
Basically a blocker since I cannot open additional views.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2010-07-08 05:58:30 EDT 
It's a blocker because Show View > Other... also doesn't work (see bug 319239).
Comment 3 Paul Webster CLA 2010-07-08 06:07:31 EDT 
You can use CTRL+3 to open additional views.

Compatibility view handling patch v1

The LegacyIDE.e4xmi file has been updated with the 'e4.show.view' command/handler.

org.eclipse.ui.handlers.ShowViewHandler is using 3.x code again.

The ViewRegistry has been updated to process view categories.

Paul, could you take a gander and then deliver this?
Comment 7 Paul Webster CLA 2010-07-08 14:52:34 EDT 
With a minor NPE check.
