[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: "Save Perspective As..."

[phiferd@xxxxxxx (Dan Phifer)]

Yes, I am calling save and restore.  Maybe I have a different problem.  
When I go to Window > Open Perspective > Other ... the saved perspectives 
never appear there.  However, if I save a perspective, the name will 
appear in the perspective bar, but not in the "Other..." window.  

All I did was add:

MenuManager showViewMenu = new MenuManager("Show &View");
       IContributionItem viewList = 
ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHORTLIST.create(window);
       showViewMenu.add(viewList);
       windowMenu.add(showViewMenu);

to the fillMenuBar function in my ActionBarAdvisor.  Is there anything 
else I would need to do in order to get saved perspectives in the list?

Here's another clue:  If I run the product from the PDE, everything works 
fine.  Saved perspectives show up in the list.  But, if I export the 
product, saved perspectives do not persist between sessions (but my views 
appear as I left them in the last session, which means 
setSaveAndRestore(true) is definitely happening).
