I agree with this, but the view is already "open" it is just not visible :
just after launching the application the two views are in the same 
folder : the first is visible (on top) but the second is hidden.
"As a human being", when I just click on the tab of the second view, the 
RCP framework "automatically" calls createViewPart and the view is shown.
to reproduce this behavior with SwtBot I need to :
1°/ Manually create the view
2°/ Call SWTEclipseBot.view to select the view

I'm not sure if this manual creation is really the right thing, because 
it creates a different behavior between my "real" application and my 
test application :
what I'm afraid of is :
if I manually force the creation of the view (in my test case), a 
behavior which needs this view (initialised) will work fine.
But in the real application if I don't clic on the view, it will not be 
initialised and the same behavior will not work.
