Hello everyone,

I'm developing an application using the Eclipse plug-ins system. One of
the client's desiderata is to have an undo/redo stack limited to the five
latest operations for each Editors and Views of the application.
To this end, I created an UndoContext in the createPartControl method of
my Editors and Views. Then I attach this context to the
UndoRedoActionGroup :
(with the required getViewSite(), getEditorSite() method according to the
Part concerned)
UndoRedoActionGroup undoRedoActions = new UndoRedoActionGroup(getSite(),
undoContext, true);
undoRedoActions.fillActionBars(getEditorSite().getActionBars ());
Once this is done, I set the limit of operation in the OperationHistory :
IOperationHistory operationHistory =
OperationHistoryFactory.getOperationHistory();
operationHistory.setLimit(undoContext, 5);

And then I create an OperationHistoryListener for each part and had it to
the operationHistory.
When an edition operation is done in an Editor, I associate its
undoContext to the operation. But, when I have 3 Editors opened and I
perform an edition operation, the first operation doesn't update the undo
label in the Edit menu... And when a second operation is performed on a
second Editor, the undo label is updated for all the Editors. In other
word I can "cancel" the edition operation on the second Editor from all
the opened Editors.

Any idea of something I'm doing wrong?
Marc

Make sure that you really use different undo contexts.
