Re: [platform-ui-dev] Workbench editor cycling

[Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxx]

Jared,

WorkbenchPage.cycleEditors(boolean) was stale code, left over from when 
Ctrl+F6 cycled the editors (a la MDI) rather than bringing up the editor 
switcher.
I have deleted it (sorry).

We currently have no plans to expose the activation history as API, 
although if you're working in the UI component, you can get it using the 
non-API method WorkbenchPage.getSortedEditors().

WorkbenchPage includes a method cycleEditors(boolean forward) that cycles 
through a history of editors (forward or backward) that is maintained in 
the 
page. I'd originally implemented my own mechanism for the EditorView I'm 
working on (http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=10941). Now that I've 
found this mechanism, of course, I'd rather throw out my duplicate work.

Is there any plan to promote this method to API on IWorkbenchPage? Since 
I'm 
working in the UI component, I *could* just cast the page to the 
implementation type, but I'd prefer to use the interface.

Thanks,
- Jared
