That's what I thought. As I understand it, the perspective definition is only
used to populate a page layout when first created.
Two other approaches that might work, in addition to Remy's suggestions.
1. Start up the app with "clearPersistedState" (either as a command-line
argument or as an application property). This will ignore your deltas.xml and
cause the perspective to be set up anew each time. On the downside, your
users' settings (e.g., window sizes, view re-arrangements) won't be restored.
2. I'm not 100% certain of the following, but if memory serves me, I believe
view configured using a perspectiveExtension are shown in existing workbench
pages on the next startup.
<perspectiveExtension targetID="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective">
<view
ratio="0.5"
relative="org.eclipse.ui.views.TaskList"
relationship="right"
id="ca.ubc.cs.ferret.views.QueriesDossier">
</view>
</perspectiveExtension>
Brian.
