How to add a new view?

[wn092943]

hi,
How to add a new view that likes the debuggerView? Could you give me some tips or tutorials? And I want to add an action or button which will switch perspective when pushed. How to create a new perspective?
Hope for your answer.

@wn092943 you may want to start with https://eclipse-che.readme.io/v4.3/docs/introduction-1 and then ask more specific questions.

Hi @wn092943.
We are actually adding documentation and tutorials about how to author extensions for Eclipse Che. It is the link, that @eivantsov gave you.

We are planning to add a section about Views and UI Components - and explain how to create a custom perspective. That is planned for a following iteration.

In the meantime, we'll be happy to give you guidance and help in order to get your perspective implemented.
At this moment, we have 2 perspectives in the IDE: Dev and Ops

You'll find the corresponding code into the che-plugin-machine.
More specifically here:

@wn092943 - we published new plugin resource center in the docs with explanations on how to do this.
