I have to use one of part stacks as an editor area. But when it is added the dependence "org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt" (DndAddon, MinMaxAddon) part stack disappears when I close the last part and its place fill another part stacks. But it is necessary this specifically empty area must be visible.
How to make the nondisappearing editor area?

Haven't tried it yet, but I suppose to do this you have to use PartDefinitions for your editor parts. In your PartStack you configure a Placeholder that references the specific parts. It should be rendered and visible.

Happens because of the clean up addon. You can tag stacks to not auto
collapse by adding the "NoAutoCollapse" to the tags-list of the stack.

Thank you very much! It works.

But where can I see all allowable tags for UI Elements (not only for part stack)?

Some are here http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench/src/org/eclipse/e4/ui/workbench/IPresentationEngine.java
Some others are in the renderers (o.e.e4.renderers.*)

HI Gennady Gromov,
Can you please share how you were able to make one of the part as the editor. I have been trying it for quite sometime
