We are developing a perspective that contains some views and an editor. We
need to give that perspective of such a behavior that allows the user to
stop the closing of the perspective once it has been triggered is
something wrong happens.
Perspective closing routines evaluate whether the editor is dirty or not
and will show the user a dialog offering the chance to save the content or
quit the closing. The user can choose between saving content (if needed) &
close or cancel that.
If you choose to save the content of the editor, and something strange
happens (say, commit of data to a DB fails), it seems to us that you
CANNOT stop the closing of the view. We need to give the user the chance
to make some changes on the content and then be able to safely exit the
perspective.
Dispose allows us to do things before closing is complete, but it seems
like closing is definitive, no further possibility to stop it if there's a
big problem there...
Can anyone give us a hint on how to fix this ??? Do we need to listen to a
particular event before dispose() is called ???
Thanks in advance...
Greetins from Barcelona,
XAVI

Probably it helps someone in future:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().closePerspective(IPerspectiveDesctription,
true, false);
