Re: [platform-ui-dev] Working sets on a workbench window

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't the purpose of this API to change
multiple views' working sets simultaneously? And to define a workbench-wide
working set? For example, I could simultaneously change the working set
for the package explorer, problems, synchronize, search, call hierarchy,
and maybe even functions like java editor's CTRL+T, which might perform
better if the scope was restricted to a working set.

Yes.  For instance, the package explorer currently
has a menu item to  
select the visible working sets (when you're in the working set  
mode).  With this new API, you could simply show all working sets
 
that are of the java type and listen for changes so that you can  
update your tree appropriately.
