Once I got bug 329355, I could not open a new editor anymore. So I decide to restart and now the whole workspace doesn't start properly: no toolbar, no key binding, I cannot open new editors,...

The log feels to me like it's the same problem as the one Boris reported in bug 319807.

A strange shutdown has caused the editor(s) to not be persisted properly. I've tightened up the code in EditorReference to ward off against such cases. Workaround is to just delete the deltas.xml file.

Fixed in CVS HEAD.

I'll close this bug since the infinite LogView logging problem is illustrated by bug 319807.

Thanks for the bug report and attachments, Olivier!

Verified that I20101207-0250 starts up with the deltas.xml provided by comment 1 on Windows XP.
