From platform-ui-dev The JFace Dialog class now supports (in builds >20051004) persisting of a dialog's location and/or size. For a detailed history of this topic and explanation of how to get this behavior, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=33550. Dialog owners are encouraged to migrate to the new behavior and delete any code previously used to persist size and location. (Then all those pesky multi-monitor bugs won't be your fault anymore!). It is still up to you to determine whether persisting location and/or size makes sense for your particular dialog. You won't magically get any behavior without doing something. Here's how it works. (1) Override the method Dialog.getDialogsBoundsSettings() to return the IDialogSettings appropriate for persisting your dialog's bounds. (2) If you want to persist the last known size and location of the dialog, you are done. If you want to persist only the size or only the location, override the method Dialog.getDialogBoundsStrategy() to return the constant indicating what strategy to use. This is a combination of bit mask values which are currently defined as DIALOG.PERSIST_LOCATION - persist the last known location of the dialog DIALOG.PERSIST_SIZE - persist the last known size of the dialog
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
