I don't think this can be achieved. As far as i can tell, there is no extension point to do that and there are limits anyway for what you can do with extending Views. You might have to create your own view, which is probably not easy, especially if you want it to be fast as well.
You can extend some views by providing a label decorator. The easiest way is implement a class that extends LabelProvider implements ILightweightLabelDecoratorand extends org.eclipse.ui.decoratorsHowever, this seems to work only for tree views. You can check with http://Eclipse.org if there are other approaches. You can find some example code in https://hub.jazz.net/project/rschoon/Jazz%20In%20Flight In the Stream RTC Extensions in the RTC Client Extensions component. The Projects are named com.ibm.field.team.scm.navigator.iddecorator* . However, I did the project as a desperate measure and I believe you should not attempt this. PS: Please try to improve on tagging. Questions like this should usually be tagged with extending. Comments This is correct. The History view doesn't provide extension points to add more columns. The code is internal as well so anything you would want to create wouldn't be supported or guaranteed to work in future releases.
