How to avoid sharing editors across perspectives [message #463509]

I'm working on an RCP application that creates multiple perspectives. The
user can switch from one perspective to another depending on the task that
needs to be accomplished. Editors in one prespective may not be relevant
in other perspectives. How can I prevent sharing editors across
perspectives?

The only alternative that I can think of is to create each perspective in
its own exclusive window, but I don't want to open multiple windows.
Should the strategy be to enable and disable windows rather than switching
perspectives?

Appreciate your suggestions/workarounds...

Sharing editors across perspectives is an Eclipse feature and you can't
prevent that.

Hi,

if you know which editors should not be shared (or if maybe no editor should
be shared) across perspectives, you could register an
IPerspectiveListener and close these editors via
IWorkbenchPage.closeEditor(*) methods programmatically.

Maybe this gives you a help.

Greetz,
Carsten

OK. It sounds like I should simply use views instead of editors. Thanks
for your comments.
