[platform-ui-dev] Working set framework

[Jared Burns <jared-eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

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,
