[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Eclipse Runtime Application .metadata ca

["Prakash G.R." <grprakash@xxxxxxxxx>]

When an RCP app runs, it takes the previously saved state of a 
perspective. So if you have done any changes in your 
IPerspectiveFactory.createInitialLayout(), it won't get reflected. 
Either you clear your workspace of your RCP app everytime (either 
manually or thru the setting in the launch configuration) or do a Reset 
of your perspective, so that the method is called again
