Method Detail

addPlaceholder

public void addPlaceholder(String viewId)

Adds an invisible placeholder for a view with the given id to this folder. A view placeholder is used to define the position of a view before the view appears. Initially, it is invisible; however, if the user ever opens a view with the same id as a placeholder, the view will replace the placeholder as it is being made visible. The id must name a view contributed to the workbench's view extension point (named "org.eclipse.ui.views").

Parameters:

viewId - the view id
