[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Standalone views in a perspective

[Jean-Michel Lemieux <jean-michel@xxxxxx>]

Haven't tried this myself, but the following may work:

String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea();
layout.addStandaloneView(NavigatorsView.VIEW_ID,
  false, IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.35f, editorArea);

layout.addStandaloneView("test.connect.ui.views.NetworkStatusView",
  false, IPageLayout.BOTTOM, 0.35f, NavigatorsView.VIEW_ID);
