Description

The application model of the Taxeditor is stored in {home}/.cdmLibrary/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi. This stores all parts, menu items, commands, etc.

While we are still migrating from e3 to e4 and make a lot of changes to the model there could be situation when after installing a new taxeditor (for developers: after git pull) new GUI objects do not show up because of the existing application model cache. Deleting the workbench.xmi file solves this problem (developers can also add -clearPersistedState to the program arguments in the launch configuration of the taxeditor.

We could think about about delivering an extra a batch file that starts the editor with the -clearPersistedState parameter in order to once reset the application model. Afterwards the editor could be started normally. Having this parameter set for every launch would always lead to a fresh application model i.e. none of the layout of the windows are opened editors would be restored.

We should look at the parameter apply in the org.eclipse.e4.workbench.model extension point which defines when a model fragment should be applied to the cached one.

====

This ticket may also include restore functionality of name editors (#7071)

====
a lot of eclipse initialization and lifecycle management is defined in plugin.xml of taxeditor.application

plugin.xml of taxeditor.application

Ja, das ist ein wichtiges Thema. Insbesondere wenn man nightly häufig neuinstalliert, bekommt man beim ersten mal immer Probleme, weil er irgendwas öffnen will was irgendwo wohl mal geöffnet war, obwohl ich in der Zwischenzeit der Editor schon sehr häufig mit anderem Layout geschlossen habe.
Ich habe das noch nicht systematisch untersucht, aber sollten wir machen.

This is a general problem when working with >1 installations of the editor. We should try to store instance specific xmi files

This article might help. Seems like you can programmatically store and load the application model.

After implementing #6847 the launch flag -clearPersistedState does not seem to work anymore. During development you have to manually delete the workbench.xmi in {workspace}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/.bundle_pool/configuration

Maybe we can implement a switch for dev and release

Andreas:

"[Im Editor] der noch keine Verbindung zu einer DB hat, wird versucht, einen Nameeditor zu öffnen. Das scheint mir nicht sinnvoll. Es sollte erst nach öffnen der Verbindung passieren.

Wenn ich dann in den ausgegrauten Nameeditor klicke, bekomme ich zudem folgende NPE:

Ich habe das jetzt nochmal beobachtet. Es passiert immer, wenn man mehrere TaxEditor Instanzen parallel auf hat. Dann übernimmt er die Information von der bereits geöffneten Instanz. Da müssen wir uns noch was ausdenken."
