Defer Plugin Automatic Loading/Opening on Eclipse startup - eclipse-plugin

Question

I created a new plugin under PDE in eclipse.
Exported it to deployable plugin and pasted it in plugins folder of eclipse.
On Startup of eclipse, the plugins load automatically and come stacked with the console and other windows at the bottom of Eclipse.
I want to defer its automatic load/opening.
I want it to be opened only when I explicitly open it through Show View>My Plugin
Following is my plugin.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin autoStart="false">
<extension
id="application"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
<application>
<run
class="com.Myplugin.packages.Application">
</run>
</application>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectives">
<perspective
name="Myplugin"
class="com.Myplugin.packages.Perspective"
id="Myplugin.perspective">
</perspective>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<view
name="Myplugin"
class="com.Myplugin.login.view.OpenView"
id="Myplugin.view">
</view>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
<perspectiveExtension
targetID="*">
<view
closeable="false"
id="Myplugin.view"
minimized="false"
relationship="stack"
relative="org.eclipse.debug.ui.ModuleView"
standalone="true"
visible="true">
</view>
</perspectiveExtension>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
</menuContribution>
</extension>
</plugin>
Perspective.java:
public class Perspective implements IPerspectiveFactory {
public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
try{
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false);
layout.setFixed(true);
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow()
.addPerspectiveListener(new PerspectiveListener());
}catch(Exception e){
OpenView.log4jCallingForError("Perspective error : " +getStackTrace(e));
// Plugin.getLog().log(new Status(Status.INFO, Activator.PLUGIN_ID, Status.OK, e.getMessage(), e));
}
}
public static String getStackTrace(final Throwable throwable) {
final StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
final PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw, true);
throwable.printStackTrace(pw);
return sw.getBuffer().toString();
}
}

Answer 1

You are specifying visible="true" in the perspective extensions definition of the view - this makes the view visibile as soon as the perspective is shown. Replace this with visible="false".
Note: You may have to reset the perspective to pick up changes to the perspective definition.

Answer 2

Changing my view properties from
<view
closeable="false"
id="Myplugin.view"
minimized="false"
relationship="stack"
relative="org.eclipse.debug.ui.ModuleView"
standalone="true"
visible="true">
</view>
to this
<view
closeable="true"
id="Myplugin.view:*"
minimized="false"
relationship="stack"
relative="org.eclipse.ui.views.ResourceNavigator"
standalone="true"
visible="false">
</view>
worked for me.
