IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
if (workbenchWindow != null) {
    workbenchWindow.addPerspectiveListener(new PerspectiveAdapter() {
        @Override
        public void perspectiveActivated(IWorkbenchPage page,
                IPerspectiveDescriptor perspectiveDescriptor) {
            super.perspectiveActivated(page, perspectiveDescriptor);
        }
        @Override
        public void perspectiveDeactivated(IWorkbenchPage page,
                IPerspectiveDescriptor perspective) {
            super.perspectiveDeactivated(page, perspective);
            page.closePerspective(perspective, false, true);
        }
    });
}

In result of page.closePerspective(perspective, false, true);, ViewPart that was opened within perspective, will be disposed.
