In Eclipse Window>Show View, in the bottom we can see a text saying “use f2 to display the description for a selected view” now if we select any view and press f2, it always show “no description available” .
Now I have created a View and that view is available in showView eclipse menu , but I want to set the description for the same.
So in ViewPart, where exactly I need to do the description setting.

    According to this bug report, the description is set in the description tag of the view in the plugin.xml.

    An example:

    <view
    name="Sample View"
    icon="icons/sample.gif"
    category="test"
    class="test.views.SampleView"
    id="test.views.SampleView">
    <description>A very long descriptive text.
                 With a new line comes still more.
                 And more ... and more.</description>
</view>

    Result:
