This would have to be implemented by your program logic (see my other post).

But you can write a demonstration RCP application really easily.  Why 
re-implement the wheel (that's what the workbench framework is there for)?

Just generate the mail RCP application.  It has 2 views and a 
perspective (plus a menu and toolbar).

You can wire off the menu and toolbar, and just use the perspective to 
place your 2 views.
