File history in File menu. [message #331159]

Hello,

I had posted this on the rcp news group but got no reply.
Hoping to get a reply atleast here.

w.r.t the following post,
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.rcp/m sg09266.html

I wanted some clarification on showing the recently opened files in the
File menu. The solution in the above mentioned post works only for a
session. Once you close the RCP and reopen it, the file history is lost.
Can someone please let me know how I can persist the list across sessions.

Looking forward for a reply,
Wishwas.

Are you saving and restoring your RCP state? If so, are your editors
persistable?

If I open text and java files in the IDE and then restart, my files are
still in the history. If I use the PDE editor to open extension point
descriptions, they show up in the list until the next restart (they are
not persistable).

Hello Paul,

I am not using the saveAndRestore.I just need to remember the file list in
the file menu.btw, the files in my case are xml files.

I found one way of doing this. This is by adding the entry to the editor
history manually.

IFile file = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject("External
Files").getFile(string);
IEditorRegistry reg = WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getEditorRegistry();
EditorDescriptor desc = (EditorDescriptor) reg.findEditor(editor
plugin-id);
wb.getEditorHistory().add(new FileEditorInput(file),desc );

Thanks,
Wishwas.
