Attaching an Eclipse detached view programmatically

I have programmatically detached a view from eclipse. now I want to attach it back. What is the best efficient way to do that.

Solution

  • The matching operation for detach(*) is org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.modeling.EModelService.insert(MPartSashContainerElement, MPartSashContainerElement, int, float).

    The only working example I found was in the DND support SplitDropAgent, but it's not easy to read. I suspect you need to find the part that you have previously detached.
