When I have a file open in one project and switch to another project which is a different version of the first version, I see that the files from the first project are not closed. This may cause people to edit files in the first project opened when they actually meant to edit the file in the second project.
I believe this is an editor management issue. Moving to Platform UI for comment.
I am not sure if I understood the problem. Could you add the steps I need to reproduce the problem from a new workspace if possible.
I appologize for not making it more clear. Below is a scenario that I hope describes the problem better. Say you have project "A" in Eclipse, then you relase project A to production, then you create project "B", which is project "A", but will be used to create the next version of "A". Therefore, you have the same file names in each project. Then you have a bug that comes in for project A, so you open a file called "ViewData.java" that is in project A to fix. Then you open project B to correct the same file called "ViewData.java" but in project B. When you open project B, all files associated with Project A should close. Currently, files from both projects will stay open when you move between projects. This in my case will cause me to edit certian files in project A when I should have only made those additions to project B. For example if I have additional functionality that should go into project B file called "ViewData.java", but I previously was correcting a bug in "ViewData.java" located in Project "A", when I click on Project "B", I should see all files associated with Project "A" close and open files in Project "B" which were opened previously. With the current functionality, the "ViewData.java" file from project A is still open and a developer that should be adding additional functionality in "ViewData.java" in project "B" could mistakenly add the additional functionality to the "ViewData.java" file located in project "A". Let me know if I have not explained the problem clearly.
Moving Dougs bugs
As per http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Bug_Triage_Change_2009
Remy is now responsible for watching the [EditorMgmt] component area.
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.
