HostAccessWorkbenchAdvisor

An Eclipse WorkbenchAdvisor class is responsible for specifying the default perspective and constructing a WorkbenchWindowAdvisor object, which is in turn responsible for configuring the workbench window. An implementation of this class is provided for you in the ZIETrans RCP runtime extension plug-in. This class, HostAccessWorkbenchAdvisor, returns a new instance of an HostAccessWorkbenchWindowAdvisor object and specifies hostaccess.perspectives.main as the default perspective. This is why the Host Access perspective is displayed by default when a new workbench window is opened. If you have created a custom perspective, you can update the getInitialWindowPerspectiveId() method to return the ID of this perspective. Alternatively, you can specify the perspective when Eclipse is launched using the -perspective argument:

Windows:

eclipse.exe -product com.ibm.hats.rcp.runtime.extension.product -perspective myCompany.myCustomPerspective

Linux:

./eclipse -product com.ibm.hats.rcp.runtime.extension.product -perspective myCompany.myCustomPerspective
