Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:22:45 EDT
When the workbench first comes up, the resource navigator should be selected.

A perspective should have the chance to say which view (or editor) is active by default,
e.g. when the perspective is first opened.

The active part should also be remembered, and reactivated when the workbench is restarted.

This is an interesting idea. Anyone out there in the open source world who 
wants to work on this?
