I know in eclipse there is a way to view a object's methods in the sidebar.
You are referring to the Outline view.
It should be displayed by default in the Java perspective (which I assume you are using), but if you don't see it, you can display it from Window->Show View->Outline.

I'm writing an Eclipse RCP 3 application. The application contains a menu on the left and the working view on the right. When the application starts the two viewparts are splitting the screen in two parts. Now I'm searching for a way to set the width of the menu so that it not use the full half part of the screen.
I have already done some tests with ISizeProvider but without any luck. What is the easiest way to set a default width on a viewpart?
I can't find anything in the Eclipse source that actually uses the ISizeProvider so it looks like it may have been dropped for Eclipse 4.
If you want to set the relative sizes of views you put then in a Perspective and use the perspective layout factory to set the proportions of the window use by each view.
I started all over again with the mailexample in Eclipse. Now I hava it and without any need to code something.

I have a scenario where I need to access a view that is directly attached to the window (not attached to the activity). Apparently, By.id method tries to find views which are added to the activity’s view hierarchy, which makes sense. Is there a way through which I can access views added to the window directly?
If this view yours, save link to rootView(fe layout) and use layout.findViewbyid().
I'm developing an eclipse plug-in and I would like to open files with a certain extension (e.g. .xml) with the View tab of my plug-in. Is this possible? I know this can be done for editors like this In plug-in.xml how to associate a file extension with a particular kind of editor in eclipse plug-in.
The difference between a View and an Editor has diminished with Eclipse 4. This means that you can dock editors outside the shared area on a view stack. Go ahead and try it by dragging an Editor by its title and dropping it on a view stack.
Furthermore, it is very well possible to edit files in views if you want to implement this yourself. For this to happen you have to implement ISaveablePart [1] on the view. When you implement this, the view will play in the change/dirty/save editor lifecycle of the workbench.

No, it is not possible.
The closest you can get is to add a separate 'open in view' menu item.
Iam making a new view plugin for eclipse and I need it to display a website.
I know there are eclipse views already that does that but I haven't found a way to do it. I know it is very simple using a JFrame or similar but how can I get it to show in an eclipse view?
Thank you
You can use an SWT Browser component, as described at http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet128.java -- you would need to add the Browser to the view's composite parent when the view is created.
Is there a way to extend the “Open Call Hierarchy” function to the whole working set or workspace? (i.e. across multiple projects)
This would be very handy when searching for deprecated methods and dependencies.
By default Open Call Hierarchy searches in workspace. Click on down arrow in Call Hierarchy view to see Search In... and Search Scope options.
Guide to find down arrow:
In the Call Hierarchy view window from the right there are Maximize, Minimize and View Menu. View Menu is represented by a triangle pointing down and that is what you need to click.
