                and Lookup API as dependencies.
            Create a new implementation of perspective and fill methods.
            Add @ServiceProvider annotation to your class to be found by
                the system, like @ServiceProvider(service = Perspective.class, position = 500).

        HowTo attach a TopComponent to a perspective
        Create a new class which implements the PerspectiveMember interface
            Implement the isMemberOf() method. Simply test if the given
                perspective is the one you want to attach the component. For default perspectives, first
                add a dependency to the DesktopPerspective module and then for instance with preview:
                public boolean isMemberOf(Perspective perspective) {
    return perspective instanceof PreviewPerspective;
}
            Return the unique TopComponent identifier for the getTopComponentId()
                method. The identifier is defined in the TopComponent annotations.
            Add @ServiceProvider annotation to your class to be found by
                the system, like @ServiceProvider(service = PerspectiveMember.class).
