Hi,
I want to start eclipse in a custom perspective, but when I try to do that
in the startup method, it throws a null pointer exception at the point I
try to access the Display thread.
code used to invoke the perspective :
final IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IPerspectiveDescriptor activePerspective =
workbenchWindow.getActivePage().getPerspective();// null pointer here
if (activePerspective == null ||
!activePerspective.getId().equals(PERSPECTIVE_ID)) {
Display.getCurrent().asyncExec(new Runnable() {// if I remove the get
active page since it is not mandatory, I get null pointer here.
public void run() {
// switch perspective
try {
workbenchWindow.getWorkbench().showPerspective(PERSPECTIVE_ID,
workbenchWindow);
} catch (WorkbenchException e) {
log.error("Can not switch to perspective: " + PERSPECTIVE_ID, e);
}
}
});
}
Can someone help me to open eclipse in my custom perspective? I tried using
this in an early startup as well as in the activator class, both gave same
results.
