This is probably a dumb noob question but I am getting nowhere trying to find anything about this online or in the docs:
Is there any way to get a project to 'remember' which resources were open at the time a project was closed, and to re-open those same resources when a project is re-opened?
I recently upgraded from an older version of Eclipse to current, and it used to work like this. Now, whenever I close a project, any opened resources of that project stay open in the resrouce browser, which seems like incorrect behavior.
I have tried removing and re-creating projects from scratch, deleting the hidden files at the project root in the local working directory, but same behavior.
Any insight would be appreciated.
OSX, Eclipse Build id: 20100218-1602
Thanks

I don't quite understand what you're doing. My Eclipse remembers what
was open when I close and restart Eclipse, but what do you mean when you
say a "project"? If I open source files from one project while another
is open, those files stay open after a restart. Do yours not do so?

Mine remembers source files (resources) when closing and relaunching Eclipse too.
Within Eclipse, there is the ability to open and close projects. This can be done from the PHP Explorer tab by right-clicking on a project name, or from the Project menu by selecting open or close. This closes the project, and (used to) close all source files (resources) which are part of that project. Re-opening the project would re-open any resources which were previously open.
This was *very* useful as I work on many different projects for short periods of time, and allowed me to keep only a sane number of source files (resources) visible at a time, yet still have the resources immediately available when I re-open a project.
Eclipse worked this way in Eclipse Platform v3.51, but not now in v3.52.
I have tried a variety of things such as creating my project files fresh in a new local working directory, scouring the preferences and documentation for some new feature or means to accomplish this and am stumped.
Without out this, my use of Eclipse is extremely stymied. I must either keep 30+ resources open which span multiple unrelated projects, or close files only to have to hunt for them to re-open them when re-needed.
* corrupt project files? (I re-created them and am getting the same behavior)
* behavior replaced with some other mechanism? (views? workspaces? ???)
* dropped feature? ( I hope not!)
Any insight is appreciated. thanks -c!

Have you considered using different workspaces for different unrelated
projects?
Another thing to look at is Mylyn; it is a task-focused UI layer on top
of Eclipse that can remember open editors as you activate and de-active
tasks. It does a whole lot more than that, too.
http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn has more info.
Hope this helps,
Eric
