Description Pierre-Charles David CLA 2017-05-31 10:23:09 EDT 
With the introduction of the aird editor, it becomes easy to open a session on an aird from any perspective, including from views which are not based on CNF (most importantly, the JDT's Package Explorer). Once an editor has been opened, the underlying session is opened and the models loaded in memory. However just closing the editor will not release the corresponding memory, and the user has zero feedback about that.

Bug #517498 will provide a way to close these sessions which are left open, but the user has no way how knowing which ones are loaded. It should be possible to provide a different icon for aird files that correspond to opened sessions (maybe only the root airds, as those are the one the user can act upon).
