Editor references for files that are in closed projects should be cleaned up when projects are closed, rather than waiting until the editor is activated.

Steps:
-Create a two projects, A and B, each with a few files in them.
-Open editors for one of the files from project A and 1 or 2 of the files from project B.  Ensure the editor that has focus last is a file from project B.
-Shut down eclipse
-Start eclipse (ensure not to activate the editor for the file in ProjectA)
-Close project A
-Ctrl+F6, select editor that is the file from project A.
You get an error dialog that says Resource '/ProjectA' is not open.

Instead of the editor, it would be nice if, on project close, the editor references for files in Project A that are still around are cleaned up, instead of  getting the error dialog when you select the editor for the file from ProjectA.

I do not like that all editor windows keep open but without content when I
close a project. Closing these once a project is closed it prefered.

Of course such closed windows should be reopened at the same position once
the project is opened again.
