The first step to add editor area to the application is to make the editor area visible.

public class Perspective implements IPerspectiveFactory {

	public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
		
		layout.setEditorAreaVisible(true);

		layout.addView(StudentsView.ID, IPageLayout.LEFT, 1.0f, layout.getEditorArea());
		//make the view fixed
		layout.setFixed(true);
		//make the view non-closeable
		layout.getViewLayout(StudentsView.ID).setCloseable(false);
		
	}
}
