Description Jared Burns CLA 2002-08-22 11:44:22 EDT 
It would be nice if WorkbenchPage#getEditorReferences() returned the editor 
references in the order they're tabs are displayed.

For example, if you launch the workbench with editors A, B, and C open in 
that order, WorkbenchPage#getEditorReferences() returns them in that order. 
If the user then reorders the editor tabs to be B, C, A, 
getEditorReferences() still returns the editors in the order A, B, C.

Background:
I'd like this for is the editor management view in Bug 10941. I have users 
who reorder the editor tabs by logical groupings. When they reorder the 
tabs, they'd like them to show up in the same order in the editor view. I 
haven't found any notification that's sent when the tabs are reordered 
(which would be optimal), but if the call to getEditorReferences() returned 
them in the tab order, I could simply allow the user to refresh the view 
contents to update the ordering.

In R3.0 the code that does the presentation for editors and views can answer 
the state they should be persisted in.
