Main window size and position [message #483277]

I have worked with eclipse rcp for years. I see how to set the default
size of the main window but not the default position (I want the main
window to open centered on the screen). I also would like the main window
size and position to persist but I do not want other state information to
persist. Therefore, I do not want to use setSaveAndRestore(). Can this
be done easily?

Hi Michael,

This works like a dream:

package com.weltevree.salvo.application.internal;
public class ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor extends WorkbenchWindowAdvisor
{

<snip>

@Override
public void postWindowOpen() {
super.postWindowOpen();
int x = PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().getInt("posx");
int y = PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().getInt("posy");
getWindowConfigurer().getWindow().getShell().setLocation(
x == 0 ? 800 : x, y == 0 ? 300 : y);
}

@Override
public boolean preWindowShellClose() {
int x = getWindowConfigurer().getWindow().getShell().getLocation().x ;
int y = getWindowConfigurer().getWindow().getShell().getLocation().y ;

PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue("posx", x);
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue("posy", y);
return super.preWindowShellClose();

}
}
