Re: [platform-ui-dev] How to rename a view ID on an namespace-restructuring update ?

Hi Wim,

 

I like your approach because the “migration code” would _only_ be executed if there is a real need for migration ie the old view ID in a workspace/perspective.

 

One issue I see is that the old view ID would also appear in Window > Show View > Other … which doesn’t make sense (would look like a duplicated view).

I guess we could hide that with a Capability definition but that doesn’t look very elegant …

 

Unless somebody has any different idea here ?

 

Thanks,

Martin

Maybe you can ship a new view with the old Id that opens the old view with the new id and then closes itself?

Cheers,

Wim

Hi Platform/UI experts,

 

As part of the TM Terminal restructuring that we’ve done recently, we’ve changed the ID of a view to the new namespace.

 

This causes issues when the view was active in a perspective when the update is applied:
After Eclipse restarts, the now-obsolete view shows up in an error state.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=466644

 

Do you see any way we could avoid this ? For instance, provide plugin.xml markup that would specify the view as “no longer existant thus close on restart”.

We thought about a PerspectiveListener, but we’d like to avoid unnecessary plugin activation if possible.

If you have any thought or idea, we’d really appreciate a comment on the bug !

 

Thanks,

Martin
