Help with Eclipse Plugins

[Anirudh]

Hi,
I am a new user of eclipse. i have learnt how to create views as
plugins in eclipse. Now i need to create a perspective wherein various
views communicate with each other (a button click in one view should
translate to an action in another). Can anyone please help me with
this - either by providing source of any information or the
information on how to go about doing it itself.
Thanx in advance

Short answer is open the plugin.xml file (in eclipse, so that the form
UI is showing), go to the Extensions tab and define a new extension on
org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.

I don't know if there's an example of a perspective in the FAQ, but it's
an essential read:

- http://www.eclipsefaq.org

Ed Burnett's RCP tutorial has an example perspective:
