[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: StickyView -how to initialize as visible

[npickard@xxxxxxxxxx (Nigel Pickard)]

OK, I'm definitely missing something here (I'm a relative newcomer to 
Eclipse, apologies). This is along the lines of my reply to James -you 
mention:

"and if not open it ... then tie it to your main perspective"

How do I open the view programatically?  I was under the impression the 
way to do it was to use the default (as in default perspective that opens 
when I first start the app after installing) perspective and open the view 
there, e.g. if my default perspective is TestPerspective, under its 
createInitialLayout method:

public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
 String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea();
 layout.addView(TestStickyView.ID_VIEW, IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.25f, 
editorArea);
.
.
}

Is there another way to open a specific view (e.g. my sticky view) for a 
perspective?  And where should I call it from?  I should add I've tried 
searching the documentation and newsgroups about this but with no success 
:(

Thanks
