Bug 120460 [Perspectives] Promote deletePerspective( ) from PerspectiveRegistry to IPerspectiveRegistry
Reported: 2005-12-12 17:52:39 | Status: verified fixed

IWorkbenchPage provides the public API savePerspectiveAs(IPerspectiveDescriptor) which will save the updated perspective in the users workspace as a custom perspective. It would be a more consistent API if deletePerspective(IPerspectiveDescriptor) were promoted from the internal class PerspectiveRegistry to the API interface IPerspectiveRegistry. I want to avoid using internal classes, but I need to be able to delete a cached perspective.
