Description Jose M Beleta CLA 2004-03-02 05:19:29 EST 
Normally I set Eclipse using two Windows one with several opened perspectives 
(Java, Resources, CVS, etc.) the other one with the Debug perspective. To get 
this I usually start eclipse with the first window and have the "Open a new 
perspective" preference set to "In a new window". When the debugger starts it 
opens in a new window. If i inadvertently close the first window I have to set 
again all the perspectives because the layout is not preserved, this is little 
bit annoying.

To help avoiding this please consider saving and restoring windows and 
perspectives layout settings by the user.

I would also like a way to export all customized perspective layouts so that 
each time I create a new workspace, which turns out I need to do more often 
than I thought, I can just import the layouts exported from a previous 
workspace, saving an hour or two of manual manipulation of the views within 
each perspective that I use.

There is currently no plan to work on this
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:08:53 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
