Description Eugene Chan

I am working on initializing a perspective and encounter problem when tried to 
IPageLayout.createFolder() and addPlaceHolder to the IFolderLayout created. The 
place holder is taking up space in the perspective and show a grey area. 
However, if I tried calling addView instead of addPlaceHolder, and manually 
close the view in perspective, there is no grey area in the perspective.

With the help of Nick Edgar, I was told to try 
IPageLayout.createPlaceholderFolder instead, and problem is solved. But the 
above coding should not show grey area.

Either the Javadoc or the Platform Plugin Developer Guide (under Help > Help 
Contents) address this issue directly,  nor illustrated via SWT-like code 
snippets. More documentaion is required.

Please let me know if you need further information. Thanks

The folder created by createFolder should only appear if it contains an actual
view, not just placeholders.  If it contains only placeholders then it should
act like a placeholder folder.

Is this still a problem in 3.3?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
