I have chosen Help component. Please reassign if this is not appropriate. Our feature has a perspective. If I leave the perspective open and disable the feature by using the Manage Configuration option under Help -> Software Updates window, after I restart Eclipse, I get an error saying "Could not restore workbench layout". The detail of the error says "Unable to restore perspective ...". Eclipse should not try to restore the perspective/views if the feature has been disabled.
This is Update.
Moving to UI for comments. What happens here is that on eclipse restart, the plugins associated with the disabled feature are uninstalled from the runtime. At this point, update does not know anything about perspectives and such. On a first thought, it looks like the UI component should handle this in a non- disruptive way.
If a perspective is missing on restore, we could just skip it, and continue silently. If no perspectives could be restored, we would just open a default window. Need to ensure that any ref counts for views shared across perspectives are fixed up accordingly.

Is this still a problem in 3.3? PW

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.
