Mylyn should store the editor position in a file and restore it during task activation.

Would fancy to have this functionnality, currently it's really annoying to manually restore editors' position.

Are you referring to the editor position within the workbench window or the cursor position? The latter is supported for editors that persist that state (e.g. Java editor, text editor). Editors need to implement IPersistableEditor to provide this functionality.

I guess you depend on Bug 373094

This bug looks like a duplicate of  bug 373094 and bug 166644 or this there anything specific that is not covered on those two bugs, yet?

If the XML editor stores its caret position, is there anything Mylyn need to do to restore it?

Once the XML editor stores that state using IPersistableEditor this will start working with Mylyn. We don't have any specific support for particular editor types.

I guess in this case you can close this one.

Thanks. This will start working once bug 373094 is resolved.
