Description Jared Burns CLA 2002-03-21 10:51:07 EST 
IWorkbenchPage contains two API methods for closing editors:
closeEditor(IEditorPart, boolean) and closeAllEditors(boolean).

As part of the EditorView I'm making (Bug 10941), I'm allowing users to
multi-select open editors and choose "Close." With the current API, I have to
call closeEditor() repeatedly, which results in poor performance. I would like a
method IWorkbenchPage#closeEditors(IEditorPart[], boolean) to close multiple
editors.

Reopen to investigate
Comment 3 Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2004-03-03 14:41:02 EST 
There is an API method for closing an array of editors and optionally prompt 
to save dirty editors now.  

IWorkbenchPage.closeAllEditors(boolean save)

I think you meant IWorkbenchPage#closeEditors(IEditorReference[], boolean)  :)
