[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: change the view of a perspective

[Roman Porotnikov <roman.porotnikov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Christian,

As for UI manipulations, the view layout is usually considered as 
something user-customizable - see 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_set_the_size_or_position_of_my_view%3F 
- so (IMHO) your UI scenario better fits switching a content in the same 
view, for example with StackLayout.


My previous answer was mainly related to the second question of yours, 
"parametrise the detailed-car-View with a parameter" - I meant that the 
information in cross-view interaction is usually passed as a part of 
selection data or similar listener-based approach, not "parameter" of 
some imperative invocation.
