[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] PDT-Eclipse keeps forgetting its Views and Pers

[Darnell Turner <Darnell.Turner@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

my Eclipse installation which I only use for PDT keeps forgetting all my 
configured Perspectives and Views all the time. Nearly (but not) every 
time I launch Eclipse it comes up with the "Resource" Perspective, and 
doesnt even show "PHP" and "PHP Debugging" in the quick launcher, 
allthough I havent been using any other perspectives since the last time 
quitting.

I makes no difference if Eclipse is shut down correctly or not.

I also have another issue with preferences that Eclipse likes to forget 
about: the default browser for debugging switches to "external broswser: 
camino" seemingly every second time I start. In all cases the "internal 
browser" checkbox is disabled, and will only be available after an 
Eclipse restart.

I have tried deleting (moving) the .metadata folder from the workspace 
root and reconfigured all my prefs, but both bugs kept appearing after 
quitting and launching again.

Thank you for any hint that could leed to a solution for this utterly 
anoying issues.
