Description Zen Balancer CLA 2010-04-21 11:47:13 EDT
Build Identifier: 

Closed projects ruin the context, at least a little, because the open editors which contain open files from the closed projects aren't opened, and as soon as I deactivate the task that new ruined context is saved as the new context. Activating a Mylyn task should open the relevant Eclipse projects if they're closed before opening the task! 

The point is that I've to open all the editors manually -because that part of the context is lost- which are only a part of the package tree instead of being opened. Or otherwise have to remember/find out or keep track if necessary of the projects that are a part of the task, and open them, before activating the task. Which is a workaround at best.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Close the project of which a file in it is part of a task.
2.Activate that task. (at this point that part of the context is already lost)
3.Deactivate that task. (now the ruined context is saved)

I'm using MyEclipse for Spring 8.5.0 based on Eclipse 3.5.x.
