Aren't my editors supposed to auto-close? [message #583866] Fri, 26 October 2007 15:22

I've been using Mylyn for a bit now, and I think something's not going
right. I'm finding myself with a build-up of over 50 open editors, about
70% of which are .class files from libraries. I thought editors were
supposed to close themselves as Mylyn deems them less interesting.

Mylyn is remembering the files for the context, so they all close when I
close the context, and they all come back when I re-open, but I don't
think I've ever noticed an editor close itself while working.

Items are appearing and disappearing from the Package view as I'd
expect, so the activity monitoring is working to an extent.

When should Mylyn be closing editors? Could it just be that the 50 open
editors are what it deems interesting? Am I confusing it by frequently
looking at library source?

Mylyn > "Manage open editors to match task context" is on
Mylyn > "Remove file from context when editor is closed" is on
Editors > "Close editors automatically" is off (I've read that this
should be off for Mylyn's handling to take over).

I'm on Eclipe 3.3.1 and Mylyn 2.1.

Any ideas?

Kevin
