Re: [udig-devel] Close map programmatically?

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is a very creative solution; Perhaps you guys could nail down a 
solid set of requirements and we can see if we can modify uDig to meet 
your needs.

It is my hope that projects that do not require an Open / Save / Close 
lifecycle will use a MapView.  I feel that your issue is actually with 
the Open / Save /  Close lifecycle of Eclipse RCP editors; rather than 
the uDig program being incorrect?

I think another way to accomplish your goal would be to insert your own 
startup and shutdown hooks that closed all the maps. I think that may be 
how maps are managed right now (or it may just be part of Eclipse RCP) 
we will need to ask Jesse.
