Example App

Hi, 
this might be a duplicate of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433465 but I'm not sure. 

If you define an application with the compatibility layer and define your perspective using the perspectiveExtension you can define view placeholders. If you use ":*" in the id field, then you can define the position of views with with a secondary id. But the closeable attribute is ignored in this case.
The reason for this is, that during the startup all the placeholders are already created and the perspective settings are set on those placeholders.
But in the case of views with a secondary id this doesn't work as a new placeholder and a corresponding shared part is created. Thus only values from the partDescriptor are copied.

I attach an example demonstrating the issue.

Cheers,
Eugen
