1. Start workbench.
2. Open 2 or 3 files.
3. Notice how files appear in File menu MRU list.
4. Shutdown workbench.
5. Restart.
6. Notice how files do not appear in File menu MRU list.

These files should be persisted between sessions.

	Note: We should be using the IPersistableElement.  Do not peek into the
	implementation to get the underlying resource.  The IEditorInput may not be
	a resource.

Relates to saving workbench state.

Should persist the recent file list between sessions.

Also, it currently only contains entries for files which have been opened then 
subsequently closed. It does not contain entries for files which are still 
open. This is different than all other apps, which maintain an MRU list based 
on time of last open. Note that in some apps, it does not rearrange the MRU 
list when selecting an entry which is already open. This allows the user to 
easily switch between files using the index mnemonics (e.g. Alt+F, 1 for first 
file in list). 

Should make it a simple MRU list based on time of last open. 

Should also move it to a submenu labelled "Open &Recent".

This bug covers just the persistence requirement.
See also bug 8459 (formatting), bug 8460 (submenu), bug 8462 (including open 
files), and bug 8463 (configurability).
Comment 5 Lynne Kues CLA 2002-02-01 16:49:48 EST 
Knut I took the above bugs.  I believe the persistance can be fixed 
independently of what is in the list, how it is formatted, how it gets in the 
list, etc.
