Problem with editor area [message #436736]

Hi,
i've build an Eclipse RCP that use editor as main components. Such editor
aren't linked to resources or at least resources that may be opened on
startup.

After, opening several editors and layout them, many folders have been
created. That's cool. BUT on start up all these folders are still there.
How can i reset/remove all those folders programmatically.
I've tried to reset the perspective but no influence on editor area.
I've tried to close all editors on close, but i'm probably do it too late
since it's done on the postWindowClose on my WorkbenchAdvisor.

Please help,
Arnauld

Make sure that your IEditorInput#getPersistable() returns null. The
workbench doesn't usually try to re-instantiage the editor if it's input
wasn't persisted.

Thanks for your reply,
but getPersistable already returns 'null'. that why i've no editor back on
startup.
My problem is all the empty folder (actually editor'area layout's folders)
opened where my editors were.

Assuming you are using a newer Runtime, would it be an option to create
a shutdownhook for the vm and remember the physical pathes to the
created folders? When the vm shutsdown it will delete the folder for
you. This assumes of course that the vm shutsdown with your rcp app.

I think there is a misunderstood, what i'm calling Folder in not the file
system folder, it's an Eclipse's perspecive folder. That a named part of
the layout, where views (or editor part for my concern) can be stacked.
Folder part can be placed relative to others.

This is a bug. I have filed bug 110684: [RCP] [EditorMgmt] Workbench
sometimes restores multiple empty editor folders
