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

[Jared Burns <jared-eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

The view has forward/backward history navigation, but I had to implement my 
own history mechanism (not hard). I'm not sure why the old API was removed, 
but I believe it had something to do with the migration to "light editors" 
(at least that's when the change was checked into CVS).
