When I shut down and restart Eclipse, the JUnit View's History is cleared out. It would be helpful for that to be preserved.

The problem is it's too much data to store. You know you can export and import Junit results, right?

Yes, I'm aware that I can export and import, but that's never very convenient, and sometimes not much of an option.

Is all this data stored in memory only? That seems itself suboptimal. I.e. if it's too much data to store, it seems like waaay too much data to keep in memory. I've always assumed that the data was all in disk already, and reflected in the UI by some LRU-caching of the results. And that old results themselves got discarded after a while (based on date or number of entries).

No, the history data is on disk.
