ViewPart.saveState(..) not called [message #444914]

I am new to RCP and have bumped into two probably related problems. The
simple application that I have created launches correctly and runs without
any errors. However when I shutdown the saveState() method in my view
(extends ViewPart) is not getting called. Where should this be called
from? Are the suggestions for what I should look into?

Second and possibly related, I have also implemented the init method with
both the IViewSite and IMemento parameters and the IMemento parameter
passed to the init method is null. Suggestions on this?

thanks,
Chris Marshall

You need to call WorkbenchConfigurer#setSaveAndRestore(true);

When you do that, then saveState(*) will be called on shutdown and the
init(*) IMemento won't be null on startup.

And just a note, saveState(*) is called on session shutdown (i.e. close
the app), but if you just get rid of the view, it's not called.
