Description Peter CLA 2014-03-13 05:08:56 EDT 
Users has been accustomed to exit programs using the x-button on the upper right of the windows. In Eclipse there should really be a dialog to close or even exit - if there are multiple windows. If there is a file dirty in editor, the "save resource" dialog must occour after the question for "close or exit".

Persuasive precedent:
Gimp - if you close the main window of one "workspace" gimp close them all.


Unpersuasive precedent:
Blender3d - Blender do not save the layout of individual windows.

DetachedView != MultiWindow.

A DetachedView can neiter have a different perspective nor a toolbar.

The tagging as [DetachedView] is wrong in my point of view.
