Description Feng Dihai CLA 2006-12-27 04:59:29 EST
[ Eclipse SDK, Version: 3.2.1 Build id: M20060921-0945           ]
[              org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.2.1.M20060906-0800.jar ]
[ running on Windows XP with SP2                                 ]

Eclipse can restore a saved layout of a perspective, but it gives no chance to
control visibility of restored views before displaying the perspective in
workbench window. Though it is possible to hide unintended views later, a flash
of window or unneccessary operations for displaying it first sounds not good.

It is common for an enterprise application to show one view or not according
user's previlleges, validaty of data or workflow status. Ability to restore a
cutomized perspective's layout is important, too. That's why I ask for this
enhancement.

I modified 2 internal classes and add an enhanced class(*) to achieve it:

    org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage
    org.eclipse.ui.internal.registry.PerspectiveRegistry
  * org.eclipse.ui.internal.FilterViewFactory
  
Please check my proposed improvements( see Bug 169110, get patched fragment
project on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=56195&action=view).

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.
