[how to] set "save and restore" in WorkbenchConfigurer? (so that EditorHistory will be sav [message #294948]

R3.1.1

I discover by spelunking that when Workbench.close() is called, the internal.WorkbenchConfigurer
controls whether EditorHistory is saved. However, I do not discover anywhere how to set
internal.WorkbenchConfigurer "saveAndRestore". There seems to be no way to get a pointer to
internal.WorkbenchConfigurer (in fact the javadocs suggest effort was expended to prevent that), and
I do not find anywhere a call to the relevant settor method of internal.WorkbenchConfigurer.

The Help docs have precisely nothing ("no hits found") on the topic; this newsgroup likewise has
almost nothing.

Yet clearly in many cases the EditorHistory is saved -- but in my app, it is not.

any ideas?

thanks,
Paul

From your question I think you are working on an RCP application. In
your WorkbenchAdvisor class you can enable save and restore with
setSaveAndRestore(true) on the IWorkbenchConfigurer you get in the
initialize method.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Daniel --

You are right, and after I posted here, realising that the question might be more relevant to RCP
issues than Workbench issues, I found a thread there "IWorkbenchConfigurer.setSaveAndRestore(true)
not working anymore", which said the same as what you just did. But when I tried that, it had no
effect, and I've asked on that thread about why initialize(IWorkbenchConfigurer) {
setSaveAndRestore(true); } would have no effect, but haven't yet gotten a reply. I'll keep listening
over there -- but if you did happen to have an idea ... :)
