I received the question how someone could see all available views.

This is easy, Eclipse 3.x allows access to the current available views via PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getViewRegistry().

For example this command handler prints out the ID’s of all available views.

public class SampleHandler extends AbstractHandler {
	public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
		// Views
		System.out.println("All my View ID's");
		IViewRegistry viewRegistry = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getViewRegistry();
		IViewDescriptor[] views = viewRegistry.getViews();
		for (IViewDescriptor iViewDescriptor : views) {
			System.out.println(iViewDescriptor.getId());
		}
		return null;
	}
}
