How to find the perspectiveID of the "Work Items" eclipse perspective? " eclipse.exe -perspective perspectiveId " command

Hello,
I'm using the RTC 6.0.2 plug-in into an Eclipse workbench.
I would like to have always the "Work Items" perspective opened at startup. Eclipse help says to use
eclipse.exe -perspective perspectiveId

My problem here is how to find out the perspectiveId of the "Work Items" perspective?

Eclipse help reference:

If you are running Eclipse with PDE (Plugin Development Environment), hit ALT + Shift + F2 to use the Plugin Menu Spy. The cursor will change its' shape, now press the desired perspective button and you will get the perspective ID.

Another option is to run a plug-in search (from Search → Plugin). Look for the string " org.eclipse.ui.perspectives " which is the name of the extension point that defines a perspective.

If you don't have PDE, you can search for the same string in the plugin.xml files which are found inside the plugins JARs. If you have a tool that can search within JARs, that would be helpful. Otherwise, you will need to guess which JAR to open for the search (or open all the JARs).
