How do I save editor state? [message #464891]

I have already created EditorInput that implements IPersistableElement
which lets the editor input itself get returned from the EditorInput
getPersistable() method. I also have an ElementFactory extension that
should be able to rebuild my EditorInput from the memento. the problem
is - at no point is the saveState() method being called from my editor
input. Any ideas?

This used to work in my previous Eclipse 3.2.1 env - now seems like it
does not function the same in 3.2.2 - am I forgetting something simple here?

I suggest you debug into EditorManager.saveEditorState

that method never gets called. Am I supposed to be forcing the editor
state save?

Try EditorManager.saveState or WorkbenchPage.saveState.

No.
