[ews.eclipse.technology.rap] Re: How to disable closing a view?

[Elias Volanakis <evolanakis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gustavo,

here are two ways:

(1) you can make the whole perspective "fixed". This way no view in the 
perspective can be closed. The tab of the view is still shown but 
without the "x":

 <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectives">
      <perspective
            class="org.foo.FooPerspective"
            fixed="true"   <----------------------------
 // [...]

(2) In you perspective factory (class FooPerspective above) you can add 
a "standalone" view. The tab of standalone views is hidden.

public class FooPerspective implements IPerspectiveFactory {

  public void createInitialLayout( IPageLayout layout ) {
    // [...]
    layout.addStandaloneView(   // <----------------------
      "MyView", false, IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.5f, layout.getEditorArea() );
  }
}

Regards,
Elias.
