Thomas wants to put a view inside the shared area in 4.x. This is not possible in 3.x so being the wonderfully compatible citizens our bundles are, this is also not possible in 4.x. We should investigate a way to allow developers to define a view that should be shown inside the shared area using only 3.x code and extensions. The caveat of course is that the code is safe when run in a 3.x environment.
Hi remy, don't have the bundle at hand. I tried a perspectivextension with org.eclipse.ui.editorss and relation stack.
This is the XML snippet I am using to test: <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions"> <perspectiveExtension targetID="org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.cvsPerspective"> <view id="org.eclipse.ant.ui.views.AntView" relationship="stack" relative="org.eclipse.ui.editorss"> </view> </perspectiveExtension> </extension> I can make this work on 4.x but on 3.x the error message will be logged. Is this a problem for you, Thomas? !MESSAGE Referenced part does not exist yet: org.eclipse.ui.editorss.
Thats exactly what I've tried. As I don't think of stepping back after the first e4 release this is ok to me. Great news :)

Hi Remy, I tried to add the view with "visible=false" to my perspective, as I don't want to show it at startup but only if some restricted command gets executed. But now I get Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The selected element org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.advanced.impl.PlaceholderImpl@67969fa5 (elementId: de.eiswind.paris.client.core.ui.user.UserView, tags: null, contributorURI: null, transientData: null) (widget: null, renderer: null, toBeRendered: false, onTop: false, visible: true, containerData: null, accessibilityPhrase: null) (closeable: false) must be visible in the UI presentation Can you give me a pointer how I could make the view show up later but not at startup in the shared area?
(In reply to comment #6) > Can you give me a pointer how I could make the view show up later but not at > startup in the shared area? Can you open a new bug with the error stack trace in it? I will take a look this week.
filed as bug #339994
HI Remy, guess youzr on your way right now. I found that when I open two views in the shared area (wich works fine now) and close them both again, the other one gets reopened when I close the last one. It then toggles between both views when I close the view. No Exceptions, only this strange behaviour. Guess you have a good time at eclipsecon. So long Thomas

Please use breakpoints in CompatibilityPart to see when it calls the createPartControl(Composite) method after you close the second view (and presumably recreate the first one). After you get the stack trace, open a new bug and let me know. I dragged two views into the shared area with I20110317-2200 on Windows XP and could not reproduce the problem so it must be something specific to the perspective extension. > Guess you have a good time at eclipsecon. Thanks and thanks for testing 4.1 as always!
I tried to reproduce the problem with this XML snippet and could not make the problem appear. I opened the 'Projects' and 'Markers' view and then tried closing them, they did not disappear. <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions"> <perspectiveExtension targetID="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective"> <view closeable="true" id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.ProjectsView" minimized="false" moveable="true" ratio="1.0" relationship="stack" relative="org.eclipse.ui.editorss" showTitle="true" standalone="false" visible="false"> </view> <view closeable="true" id="org.eclipse.ui.views.AllMarkersView" minimized="false" moveable="true" ratio="1.0" relationship="stack" relative="org.eclipse.ui.editorss" showTitle="true" standalone="false" visible="false"> </view> </perspectiveExtension> </extension>
