Does anybody know what happens with the ContentOutlinePage that the editor
provides when the Outline view is closed? And why it doesn't react to
selection changes?
Thank you very much in advance.

It gets disposed.

What if the Outline View is closed when Eclipse starts and you do
something like this :

IEditorPart editor = page.getActiveEditor();//page = the active page

IContentOutlinePage outlinePage = (IContentOutlinePage)
editor.getAdapter(IContentOutlinePage.class);

outlinePage.addSelectionChangedListener(selectionListener);

Why isn't the editor able to provide an OutlinePage to any object that
asks for it, not just the OutlineView ?

When the user moves the cursor in the editor from one method to another,
for example, the selection in the outlinePage changes.

Thanks,

The editor provides the current selection which you can use to get the
element from the compilation unit. There's no need to maintain a UI
element for that.
