Hi,

I would like to register PerspectiveListener an open an editor if a special
perspective becomes activated.
Normally I do this in my Activator.start() method. But I get the
"IllegalStateException" because no context ist available. I also tried it
with UICallBack.runNonUIThreadWithFakeContext() but since this method also
needs a Display I get the same Exception.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better place to register my Listener
at where it works better?

Regards,

Markus

Think again. Let's say you have 23 active users. How many workbench
instances do you have? And how many active bundles? How many of those
listeners do you need?

Hi Ralf,

I think I need 23 listeners, one per workbench/user. Well I guess that you
mean that the bundle is only started once, so this is the wrong place to add
the listener.
But where else can I add it, so that there is one listener per
workbench/user?

Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

the entrypoint is the first place which is session-aware for your
application as the entrypoint implementation is loaded on a per-user base.

BUT it's not the right place either for a perspective listener. In RCP
it is common that the workbench is already running when your plugin
loads. In RAP the workbench is started with the user session and thus
may not be available immediately. I would suggest to use the workbench
window advisor do to stuff like that.

Cheers
Benny

Hi again,

you could even use an IStartup implementation contributed by an
extension to org.eclipse.ui.startup.
