Save/Restore workbench and view state [message #256673]

Two separate questions:

1.) I have a view that needs to save and restore state. I've overridden
ViewPart's init method to capture the IMemento obj which I intend to use in
createPartControl. The problem I have is that the IMemento is always null.

public void init(IViewSite site, IMemento memento) throws PartInitException
{
super.init(site);
// memento is always null !!!
}

2.) How do I instruct the workbench to persist and restore it's state (ie:
layout of current perspective, location and bounds of workbench window,
etc)? How does this mesh with my IPerspectiveFactory's createInitialLayout
method?

Thanks.

Found the answer to both questions. I needed to do the following in my
WorkbenchAdvisor subclass:

public void initialize(IWorkbenchConfigurer configurer) {
configurer.setSaveAndRestore(true);
super.initialize(configurer);
}

I didn't realize that I need to invoke setSaveAndRestore so early in the
startup!
