Are view names in Eclipse "global"?  In other words, if a plugin adds an Eclipse
view which appears in the Windows-> Show View list, with the name "Statistics",
and some other plugin also adds a view with this name, what happens?  Does this
cause a problem or confusion?

If so, then I would suggest reviewing the names used for these kinds of things
in TextMarker, with the assumption that the user may have installed other
plugins not related to TextMarker into their Eclipse.  We might want to consider
having more TextMarker-qualified names (e.g., TextMarker-Statistics or
TM-Statistics), instead of general ones, like Statistics.

If this isn't a problem because view names are already qualified in some other
way and users have a way to disambiguate 2 views with the same name, then maybe
there's no issue...

This shouldn't be a problem. There is an internal id and a category.
name: Statistics
id: org.apache.uima.textmarker.statistics
category: org.apache.uima.textmarker.ide.ui

The TextMarker workbench adds two new Eclipse "perspectives", named "TextMarker"

I wonder if the 2nd perspective ought to be named something that indicated it
was part of TextMarker?  It seems that "Explain" might be too general a name?

Maybe TextMarker-Explain? or TM-Explain?
