Thanks for the information.  The new API looks like the kind of thing I'm 
looking for.  But I'm still a little confused as to how to use it to 
achieve what I want.  Is there a recommendation as to where/when (i.e., 
class/method, listener event, etc.) to hide the editors, and where/when to 
re-show them?  The API documentation says that getEditorReferences() does 
not return hidden editors.  So how do I get the list of hidden editors 
that I want to re-show when a perspective is being re-shown?  Note that I 
don't necessarily want to re-show all hidden editors, as there may be some 
hidden editors associated with perspectives that are not being re-shown.  
Any advice would be appreciated!
