[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Adding a view to a perspective

[Derek <subs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK. Here is what I have done.

I have registered a perspectiveListener and registered it during my 
earlyStartup:

public void perspectiveActivated(IWorkbenchPage page,
			IPerspectiveDescriptor desc) {
  if (isMyPerspective(desc)) {
    // 'my' view should be in this perspective
    Perspective persp = ((WorkbenchPage) page).getActivePerspective();
    IViewReference[] refs = persp.getViewReferences();
    if (!containsMyView(refs)) {
      // 'my' view is not currently shown
      if (queryShowView()) {
        // user has agreed to show 'my' view
        page.showView(MY_VIEW_ID);
      }
    }
  }
}

This works, but I get a 'access restriction' on Perspective. Is there an 
API way to do this?

Thanks,
