Re: [platform-ui-dev] Working set framework

[knut_radloff@xxxxxxx]

I've just updated bug 11044. You can use the IWorkingSet for anything that 
is a set of IAdaptables. As per the proposal persistence will be done via 
the IPersistableElement interface. You will get it for free as long as 
your working set items implement the IPersistableElement interface.

The latest comments in the "Working Sets framework" bug 
(http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11044), indicate that each 
IWorkbenchPage will have an active working set associated with it. This is 

handy for views that want to use working sets as a filter. But will 
working 
sets be available for use by clients who want to use them for other 
purposes?

I'm currently working on an "Editor View" 
(http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=10941) and I'd like to add the 
notion of working sets such that users can open defined sets of editors. 
This 
could be handy when you have a few common editor contexts that you switch 
between often. For example, I might like to define a working set of 
editors 
that I need when I'm working on a problem with breakpoints. It would 
include 
the classes in the breakpoints hierarchy, the debug event handler, and the 

debug target.

Coming back to the question at hand, I'm just wondering if the base 
working 
set functionality (persistence, creation/management UI, etc.) will be 
generic 
enough for reuse or if it will be tightly coupled to this notion of one 
active working set per page.

Thanks,
- Jared
