FAQ How will my view show up in the Show View menu?
All views show up automatically under Show View > Other.... The category attribute in your view extension declaration defines what folder your view appears under in this dialog. And no, you cannot prevent your view from appearing in this dialog.
The active perspective defines the set of views that appear in the
Show View submenu. If you define your own perspective
or a perspective extension to another plug-in’s perspective, you get
to contribute entries to this list. The user is always allowed to customize
the perspective to change the set of views that appear here.
