Hi there,

I am having following problem while using Eclipse RCP 3.0 / 3.1.
I have a perspective with three views setup (one view on the upper left
side, one view on the upper right side and one view on the bottom)
into folder containers on start-up of the RCP app.

How can I add a view dynamically (using an Action) to a certain folder
container (e.g. view folder on the upper left side) ?
Or maybe anyone knows how to access the page layout during runtime?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Cheers,
Eric

You would need to add a view placeholder to the perspective or you
cannot open the view during runtime. Then
try {
getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView(view ID,null,3);
} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

It's better to access the page directly. And for most cases you can use
the single-arg variant of showView:

getSite().getPage().showView(viewID);
