Define Eclipse view to be opened on the left side of the workbench

I have defined an Eclipse view like this:

    <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
      <category
            id="my.category"
            name="My category">
      </category>
      <view
            category="my.category"
            class="com.my.View"
            icon="icons/sample.gif"
            id="my.View"
            name="My View">
      </view>
   </extension>

The view is opened at the bottom of the workbench (next to the Console view) by default, how can I define that the view should be opened at the left side of the workbench? in the Project Explorer area.

Use the org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions extension point to define the layout of your view in a particular perspective.

The following example is how the JUnit view is positioned next to the Package Explorer view in the Java perspective:

<extension
     point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
  <perspectiveExtension
        targetID="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective">
     <view
           relative="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer"
           visible="false"
           id="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.ResultView"
           relationship="stack">
     </view>
