Build Identifier: Version: Helios Service Release 1 Build Id: 20100917-0705 This issue is specifically regarding a re-launch of a previously maximised application. The application does not remember/restore the application to a maximised state. However, if the application was not maximised, then on being re-launched, the application window remembers/restores the window to the previous re-size and location. In each of my tests, if the application was maximised before it was exited, it was not maximised when it was opened again. I did different instances where I have edited the contents of the application after being maximised, and then exited the app. I exited the app using File -> Exit, as well as clicking the x in the title bar. Notes: ====== - the ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor class in our app has the saveAndRestore call: @Override public void initialize(IWorkbenchConfigurer configurer) { super.initialize(configurer); configurer.setSaveAndRestore(true); } - This issue occurs in Eclipse Helios SR1 Packages (v 3.6.1) (I also tested 3.7, and the issue also occurs in this version) - This issue DID NOT occur in a previous release (3.4.x) Research: ========= In order to test/reproduce this issue I decided to create a basic hello world app to see if it occurred there too. I created Lars Vogel's Hello RCP app, and added the configurer.setSaveAndRestore(true) as described in his tutorial. I was able to reproduce the issue with this hello world rcp app. http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html#tips_userlayout I have read the API Reference (for 3.7) for WorkBenchAdvisor, and can't find any suggestions for this issue: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Findex.html I have read through Eclipse bugs to see if this has already been logged. I've found bugs in this area, but nothing that addresses the maximise issue specifically: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=setSaveAndRestore%28true%29 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=313883 I have seen Lars Vogel's blog post about a command line flag for e4, but I don't think it's relevant for a 3.6 issue: http://www.vogella.de/blog/2010/10/17/saveandrestore-e4/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch RCP application 2. Maximise Window 3. Close application 4. Re-launch same application 5. Window is not maximised
