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.
