Bug 1877

Description Kevin Haaland 2001-10-10 22:21:22 EDT

If 2 or more plugins define extensions for extension point org.eclipse.ui.views and specify
	categories with the same name and ID for their views, then:
		1) only one category heading should	be created in the UI
		2) all child views should be created under that category heading

	Right now, #1 is a problem, but #2 works as expected.

	e.g. If we have pluginA and pluginB with the following plugin.xml we will see
	two "SWT Example" headings in the Perspectives -> Show View -> Other dialog,
	though both views will appear under a single heading (the first in the list).

	pluginA \ plugin.xml
	<!-- snip... stuff here to define plugin -->
	<extension
	      point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
	   <category name="SWT Examples" id="org.eclipse.swt.examples.category"/>
	   <view name="Launcher Example" category="org.eclipse.swt.examples.category"
         class="org.eclipse.swt.examples.launcher.LauncherView" id="org.eclipse.swt.examples.launcher.view"/>
	</extension>
	<!-- snip... more stuff here --->

	pluginB \ plugin.xml
	<!-- snip... stuff here to define plugin -->
	<extension
	      point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
	   <category name="SWT Examples" id="org.eclipse.swt.examples.category"/>
	   <view name="Fizz Bazz Example" category="org.eclipse.swt.examples.category"
         class="org.eclipse.swt.examples.fizzbazz.FizzBazz" id="org.eclipse.swt.examples.fizzbazz.view"/>
	</extension>
	<!-- snip... more stuff here --->
