What type of changes would you need to do? The WorkbenchWindowLayout has
nothing to do with a part's movement, so can you explain what you meant
here?

Can you explain this?

In what way? I'm not too familiar with JMX.

How is it difficult? You can customize it via the
org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions just like any other perspective.

Thanks
