Restoring Ur State - Concept Refreshed

In recent times, while working @ clientside, I realised a very old concept is being burried as Eclipse moves forward but new users lack support.

Lots of Eclipse Developers write a lot of code to maintain the state of the Workbench, Window, Page, View and Editor not realising that Eclipse has an inbuilt support for saving the state of the workbench after end of each session.

Concept of IMemento in Eclipse explained in Articles

  1. Creating an Eclipse View.
  2. Eclipse RCP - How to save view layouts and state?
  3. Remember the State
  4. Wiki :: How to persist view state between Sessions ?
  5. Save and restore view state via reflection

But read the Comment posted on Raja Kannappan's Blog which is still not answered. Hope you guys soon find an answer and update his blog.

Hope this helps in refreshing the old concept for who are on Eclipse and some pointers to who are new to Eclipse.
